Front coil spring

Totally blown front shocks, IMO.

What is weird is, it was about a t least, a 2022 or newer Esky.

The front shocks are brand new with the Maxtrac lowering kit I bought. I just replaced the rear with some Bilsteins. Maybe the those Maxtrac ones are just garbage.

I am dealing with a similar situation on my 2014 PPV. I just used Maxtrac struts, their 2" drop spindles but used my stock front springs. I think the springs are too stiff for those struts. I'm going to research further and try to find some softer springs for the front. I used Maxtrac rear springs and shocks on the rear and they seem evenly matched but much softer than the PPV set up. I actually got a net drop of a little more than an inch on the front which to me is another clue that the stock PPV springs are too stiff for their struts.

One day these aftermarket companies selling junk and exploiting our sweat & labor will get their due.
