Nice. Just make sure you get the proper sized cups for the springs if they have that design. In my high school auto shop class a kit had the wrong cups and one cracked and shot the spring all the way through the shop and right through the garage door like it was made out of paper. Scary stuff!

I'll see what their kit entails, they are usually pretty good.

Yeah, that could have been really bad. Fortunately it was only a garage door that was harmed in the making of that suspension.

Was wondering if anyone else set rear basis coillvers on 26.5 & have them settle & drop a lot more after?

Twice i I have set at 26.25-26.5 $ have them settle to almost 25 3/4

Read some blogs before people had to put ring spacers on springs to keep it from lowering more

if if anyone could chime in & give some advice & info please

I wouldn't worry too much about a 1/2" drop. Measurements can fluctuate that much just from driving around the block or not having the exact same amount of gas in the tank. I don't think I have ever measured my height and had exactly the same numbers.

Thinking of buying the flex z's. I found them for under 700. I need to find someone to do it. I don't want to lower the car much. I am thinking of replacing at least the sway bar links and probably more since my car has 198k miles on it. Anyone recommend a shop in socal?
