SOS Drop Installed (pics)

[Stevenredx]

I went and picked up my SOS drop from Glen w/twisted creations Friday night. :rock: I installed the kit on Sunday and installation was a breeze. It took me 5 hrs to complete the install in the blistering heat, I took plenty of breaks. I was really surprised with the quality of the components from the new spring perches to the rear blocks and U-bolts. I had been really wanting to get the DJM kit but after ALOT of thought i went with the SOS. Almost half the cost and theres no need to chop up my frame. Also very drivable at this level. I haven't had a chance to drive it very far other than up and down my street, but the ride seems almost the same as stock. Will get some road testing after my alignment on Friday. :top: enjoy! :biggrin:

When i was uploading these pics i came across this pic on the camera. I guess Ms. Stevenredx snapped this while i was installing the kit without me noticing :motz: (not real sure who i was on the phone with :hmmmm2: )

[XRunninTaco]

Getting aligned Friday... it is defiantly showing some negative camber right now but I'm sure it can be adjusted back to spec :top:

 

[morcheez]

well mine was in the -2 to -3 range for other reasons ...even before alignment with the sos it was much better

You were on the phone with Geoff.

Looks great but it would have looked better if you would have matched up your wheels!!! :laugh:

There is some negative camber in them right now, i have been assured that it can be aligned back in specs :top:

Lookin' good Steven :top: :top: way to go for doing the install yourself bro. Those spring compressors can bite hard...but it did look like you had all your fingers in tact :biggrin: ooops what's that a lil birdy said you broke a nail :laugh: J/K

Looks good Red, I might be going with the SOS as well, not sure if i want to go that low in the front with the DJM.

I would love to go that low, but cutting the rear frame for the c-notch is what kept me from doing it :top:

 

[Nighthawk2207]

i agree stevenredx, thats me as well but the real question is C2C/SOS???? dont know what i want i did the same thing with the short shifter/adapter ended up going with urd which i think was a misake kuz after reading sumthing about the stock shifter wearing out i wish i would have went with the B&M to replace it.

looks good steven! mine is being done as we speak :rock:. i pick my baby up around 5:00 :top:. ashley beat me to it, but i was gonna say that you were probably talkin to me :laugh: . i think i was the reason for one of those many breaks you took!

SOS is definately the way to go! thanks Twisted Creations:top:

Let us know how the results of your alignment come out. My XR is at stock height and it looks like it has neg camber as is

I'm going to have them give me the readings of the before and after and i will post them. If I'm not mistaking, the x comes stock with just a little negative camber :top:
