Default Thanks Randode and Nacy

I put a set of Spy 1.25" spring in yesterday using the FAQ about spring installs that Randode and Nacy put together. It was easy and just as they explained, good job on the FAQ guys!

I'm very pleased withthe ride, I was hoping for a better then stock ride and I got it. These springs take the harshness out of the stock ride, AND make your xB look better......what more can you ask for?
Thanks Randode and Nacy.

that sounds good to me! i have been thinking about the 1.25" Spy's myself and wondered how they rode......

what size wheels/tires are you running?

you do not need to cut the bump stops with that kind of drop, do you? i heard anything over 1.75" or more needed the bump stops cut...


thanks

I'm running 17x7's with 215-40's

I did cut the bump stop.......there are 3 "bulges" that make up the stop....I sliced off the bottom 1, leaving the top 2. I thought that ANY decrease in suspension travel would warrant some trimming ot the stops....there's still plenty left to do its job.

I'll post pics as soon as I can.
