Does anybody care to provide a DIY?

 

I didnt do the work so, I cant

 

That's retarded that the front Konis are just inserts. Are the TRDs like that?

 

no. TRDs are front struts and rear shocks. They only retain the upper mounting plate and boot, etc..

just got mine installed. rides nice. Potholes and bumps are a bit harsh, not unbearable though. Lift and dive drastically reduced. More neutral in cornering. Haven't really pushed it too hard yet though.'

Btw, i'm on eibach pro kit springs too.

 

scrape much???

nice job on the wheels. Definitely unique. and not in a bad way.


an the viniati piece isn't to shabby either. Not sure i would buy it, but if someone gave it to me, i'd rock it.

 

I dont scrape much at all, my suspension is tight as heck. Thanks for the comps.

 

wow, i scrape my front bumper lip all the time coming out of steep driveways, etc...

i'm on eibachs.

 

Nice.

 

I like ur ride

 

thx

 

how are these shox going so far? i plan on getting these if i can get a good tax return ill get these sooner. cant wait!

 

really great no problems yet.

 

what is different between Htech and Stech ??

 

the drop

 

DROP ... lol
whici one you like better

 

I was wondering, on the rears, are you able to adjust the dampers from inside the car (under the trunk floorboard)?

from the pics i've seen the top of the rear shocks doesn't come up through the floor.

anyway, how hard is it to adjust the rears is my question...

 

I not sure about the adjustments yet. I will be adusting them in the spring when the temps warm up. I think the fronts can be adjusted right underneth the wiper assembly. I'm not sure how to adjust the rears. If you happend to find out please post it here.

 

if I remember right you have to take out the whole assembly to adjust the rears. thats another reason i didnt like these.

 

When installing new springs, do you need to install new struts and shocks? How would this ride be with the factory ones? Anyone know?

Oh, and Dark-Nes... nice ride!

 

Some will say yes, some will say no. There's several other threads about this already; I'm one of the one's that says no. I have had Hotchkis springs on stock shocks for more than 40,000 miles with no problems, and the ride is fine. You'll see other posts that say "you'll blow the stock shocks quick for sure", yet no one stepped up with proof when called out on those claims.
