coil over conversion installed

So just for discussion, what other reasonable priced adjustable coil overs are there? prob cross post this is question on the other two threads.

ridetech makes a good adjustable coilover shock, and they were pretty close in price, IIRC

UPDATE
i took yet one more click out of both the front and rear tonight when i got home... ill probably ride like this through the wknd and see how she does

there are quite a few other coil overs. I went with what had been discussed and used.

Craig - you think the same way i did. Keep it firm and dont go down. Well finally i decided to, as you, start going down on the clicks and see how it rides. Mine as well has become quite the difference now and the ride comfort is better w/ the softer settings. We just have to keep messing with it till we get it to our liking.

Keep at it man. Couldnt tell you mine either, but pretty low on the clicks.

This may meed to be my next move. I think the firmness is tolerable, but the sway is not. I really didnt think new bars would be a big difference, but maybe they will... did that rear sway bar come with bushings?

Yes. It comes with bushings. The sway bar also has three mounting spots which makes it "adjustable"...this is a nice touch on Hellwig's part.

So did you use the hellwig adjustable end links or you got tony's special links?

I wanted to use the hellwig adjustable end links, but they won't fit if you're too low - I'm too low. I have to use the DJM end links...I think they're the same ones that Tony sells.

Well, they just asked us to work tomorrow so looks like the bushings are gonna have to wait a little longer. Really hoping for sunday

Unfortunately, no. Got woke up yesterday at 4am to a call that my wife's 96yr old grandpa had a heart attack and was in intensive care. Spent the whole day in the hospital between my mom and him. Had a couple hrs while my daughter took a nap but our car needed plugs and coils bad, been having alot of misfires lately, so that's the only thing that really got done yesterday. Our grass is about 9' tall but its so far down the list I might actually pay someone to cut it for the first time in my life

ATM, I can't buy an hour of free time... what really sucks is they got here on a monday and the whole wknd before that I had nothing going on at all. Good news is this high line job is over half way done after the first week, so with any luck, we'll finish up this week and things will open up

Got the prototype bushings installed... now I am totally maxed out on threads for as high as I can go, and my ride height actually might be a bit lower than it was. I think these will be a good solution for those looking to go lower

Took a couple pics of my shock towers and they are in just as good of shape now (2k miles) as they were when I installed everything. Pics later

Thats what i have come to realize. (tweaked mine this weekend) Installing the stud top will lower the vehicles more. You just have to watch out for shock travel. If you read my thread, I found out my shock was bottoming out before it hit anything.

Looking forward to the pictures.
