[QUOTE="Thalilbear02, post: 15146838, member: 144891"] I've finally had more time to take some more photos and actually be able to give a proper review on the suspension as well. Despite having a significantly high spring rate, higher than most would normally consider, the suspension is insanely comfortable with the compression settings set at the lowest. I've had suspension before, unfortunately too many coilers that I've spent a lot of money on before that have claimed to have decent adjustments but none of them have actually been able to hold a light to this. The rebound/compression settings ACTUALLY make a difference, you feel it, it isn't a placebo effect, it's actual adjustment. The spring rates that I have selected are 700lbs/in front and 300lbs/in rear which to some sound like they are way too high but for daily driven use, I would NOT have a problem with this at all. Even at the full soft setting the performance is substantially higher than previous suspension too, but once dialed in, this thing can really move through the corners. I took some more photos with the external reservoirs as well as the adjustment knobs you'll see up front too. The bracket that you see comes with the kit, and the rear brackets are also included so that adjustment can be done just near the rear LCA's. [ATTACH=full]669470[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]669471[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]669472[/ATTACH] Compression adjustment on top of the camber plates which are included. I was able to dial the camber to about -2.0, I'll probably adjust them closer to -2.5-2.7 once I have my track wheels and tires taken care of. [ATTACH=full]669473[/ATTACH] Easy rebound adjustments that you can access here on the reservoir.
