I doubt that the first three coils should be be completely compressed under a static load. The rear shocks are gonna have a short life.

xB2 looks 100% better lowered like that! I am currious about affected ride comfort with the adopted spring set up.

So Randode, spill the beans alreay about the springs... Goldline TC fronts and xB1 rears perhaps? Whatever you used it looks the bizness, even with the stock wheels.

Ahh, saw in another thread tC/xB hybrid is indeed what was done... maybe if there's enough grassroots support we can get Goldline to offer the Randode combo, haha...

Thanks for the props dude. I apreciate it. You were always cool to us, even with all of the car club bullcrap that went down. If you need anything, let me know.
Peace.

Randode- speaking of rims, what offsets are you looking at with the drop? Would et32 on an 8" wide wheels be pushing it? It's kinda hard to tell from pix how much room there is to the inside of the fender lip.
