    Re: The Bone Has a New Suspension System!

    Looks great. I couldn't get away with lowering mine anymore. Stupid potholes and speed bumps would tear the hell out of that.
    Let's flip a coin. Heads I get tail, Tails I get head.

      Yeah, I'm lucky we have really nice roads here for the most part.

        Did you have to use a spring compressor to get the front springs off? I'm going to be doing this upgrade soon. I already changed out the rear springs and shocks. Now I may have to change out the Bilsteins I put on the rear because they are NEVER going to start making the fronts again. TireRack had them listed for April and then moved them back to June. I'm just not waiting any longer.

        Looks good, bro.

            The fronts do need to be compressed. I didn't have much luck getting enough coils in the compressor to work, so I found it must less of a headache to run up to the tire shop and have them mounted for me. They only charged my 30 minutes labor.

            I recommend the KYB adjustables. They feel pretty nice.

                I had the shocks set on 3F / 5R. It was kinda soft, so I changed it to 5F / 7R. Stiffer, but much better. This suspension is the SHEEAAT!!! There's this turn I have to make where you need to really punch it into traffic. Usually, I would get a lot of tire spinning and wheel hop. Not this time. The tire let out a little chirp and she dug in.

                    Not usually. I just remember Kristen saying that not too long ago. Guess it was still in my head. Anywho, I don't know too many girls named Bone.

                          Yeah, I have 3 to get out of my apartment. It doesn't hit them at all. It's close, but no contact.
