Look what I got!!!

[nxrunner]

The front will be 1.75, 12% increase in the rate of the coil and hopefully the alligment issues of the past will not be a problem. bettter handling should also be a side effect of this coil

Thats what Im talking about. Keep us updated, we are very interested.:top::rock:

sure. it was 200, but i bought them from gsxr here on the forum.

how much did you pay for your custom drop if you dont mind me asking

 

[Shanes56]

it is all done, the alignment was not a problem, the toe was fine but the caster/camber was off a slight bit, had no problem getting it back to factory specs. I will post pictures some time tomorrow or monday becasue my truck is hella dirty.

 

[XRLover25]

How much did that end up running you? and pics!!!! that is horrible to say that they are done with no pics!!. If those work better than the SOS, I might have to return it and see if I can get the coil overs.

How's the ride with those springs?

My wife and I are going to go get my truck a bath then take some pics, and yes I know it is horrible of me to do that but it is all part of the suspense.
I wouldnt say this is better than the SOS because it is completely different I look at this being more of a supension upgrade than a drop kit.

How's the ride with those springs?

So far the ride is good, it is a bit stiffer than stock but it is nothing that is not tolerable, since the handleing seems to have gotten better. it is not like a replace my springs with cinde rblocks like some drop coils feel like.

Overall review and feelings about it, likes & dislikes.

 

[Shanes56]

So far I have no quams about it beside the pain it was to switch the springs, I recomend to anyone that is going to replace spring have a professional do it, it will be worth the money spent. I like that my handleing has gotten a little tighter, not a dramatic amount but there is less body roll in corners (with sway bar bushings this will be a fantastic combo), also in the same respect, beign that it is only a small % rate (spring tention) increase the ride is fine, stiffer by a little. alignment was not an issue, the toe was perfect just had to futz with the caster/camber the slightests amount and it was back to factory specs. In the three days that I have been driving with this kit I have not bottomed out a single time. overall this kit is a suspension upgrade, if you want to improve in the twistys this is a great kit, but if you dont want the performance or the pain of dealing with spring replacement there are easier kits to install out there.

All in all I give it a:

9/10 functionality (could be stiffer)
8/10 Form (instalation is not recomended for the back yard mechanic, potential life hazard removing springs)
10/10 Looks (I think it sits at a perfect hieght)

Overall review and feelings about it, likes & dislikes.

Looks sweet! Nice work!

Yea I like that look what was the price?sorry if I missed that,and the hood scoop looks Goood 2:top:

 

[JA-Xrunner]

so can you guys get like a 3" drop front springs with maybe a 20%-30% increase in spring rate with 3 lowering blocks?

 

[Shanes56]

Better to do the DJM, the three in reduction in the spring would require you to get a shorter shock or move the lower spring mount becasue the lower spring mount is actually on the shock. and the 20% to 30% increase would actually make it feel like you were riding the frame with no suspension. 3" inch block is possible though but you would have to C notch your frame.

 

[Raversman]

Shanes, your running 2" blocks right? Ive already:top: got my payment ready for some "Sitten Sic" Coils man.

didn't GSXrunner have these same springs at one point?

ok then what about a 15% increase and a 2inch drop coil with 1inch drop block?

 

[Shanes56]

That is basically what this kit is, 15% tension increase with a 2" block, the only difference is I went 1.75" drop to avoid any alignment issues. but 2" is possible.

ok then what about a 15% increase and a 2inch drop coil with 1inch drop block?

u would want to go 2" block in the rear with a 2" front drop. the stock wheel gap in the back is huge. u want to ride 2" blocks no matter what unless ur goin djm and notching the frame
