    For anyone interested in running it that low: The ride is HARSH. I really wouldn't recommend it for anyone too far over 20. The suspension travel in the rear is very minimal and your ass will bounce off the seat. But I fuckin love it.
    link please? i fail to find it on there site...

      I'm sorry but I have no clue. They're the football (ish) shaped springs that you can run without adjusters, not the barrel coil over springs. I can't find them on the site either. I bought them off a forum member though and could track down his screen name in my PMs. He seemed to have more.

        Running stiffer springs with JOM shocks are going to cause em to fail. Springs and shocks need to be paired accordingly. Putting stiffer springs that the shocks are not valved for are going to cause em to prematurely fail.

                no one murder me for not reading all 60 pages or for just being an idiot...
                but when you say no modification necessary, does that mean no welding is involved? It's completely bolt on?

                Thanks for helping a slow kid out....

                  Nothing required but the tools to change a suspension out.

                          How'd I do it wrong? The tiny adjuster, I just left it on the top rather than screwing it into the housing. Does it make a difference?

                            You did it wrong because its not low enough. Post a picture of the stut housing and Ill bet you its upside down.

                                Im not sure I understand what youre trying to accomplish.
                                I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.
