Default Racelands installed at lowest setting

Just posting this for reference and info purposes.

This is the lowest setting without removing any collars.

Wheel/tire specs are; rear: 19x9.5 235/35. front: 18x8.5 215/40.

They sit about 1/2" lower in the front and about a 1/4" lower in the rear than my DF210s did.

The ride feels very solid and stiff in the front but with a bit of a hollow knock noise especially when cold and over small bumps, have pulled them off twice now with no obvious issues that I could see. Seems like the sound of the struts just doing there job, just a little noisier than most.

The rear is a bit soft for my taste.

All in all I have no complaints, very nice for the money.

Good to see that these are finally out! I was looking into getting a set, but when Ksports got significantly cheaper, I picked up a set instead.

Looks good!

Thanks Lefty.

Alignment is not done yet but will be soon.

The rears camber very little if at all, the trailing arm just rotates forward with maybe a very slight rotation in but nothing that I can notice.
