I don't know any ix owners. The people i know who had them never followed through. I don't think their is very much interest in the ix community. Most are not interested in going low because of the potential hazard of damaging the front axles.

whats the deal with IX fitment?

If your running proper or undersized tires then 0. Typically you can see the tire at or below the factory weld.

my bad your right. my car isn't as low as i expected with these in the front.

I have more front springs then rear so I would not be able to sell rears separately. Added front spring checkout option to my website.

Just looked at the packing slip. I ordered 100 front springs. They billed and sent me 111.

Sell just rear springs?

There is always the possibility of them loosening up and dropping down. I've never recommended that anyone flip the adjuster. Reducing the un-threaded portion of the adjuster will be one of the changes i'll be looking to implement in the next batch. However that is a band-aid. If you want to go low the only way to properly do it is to run shorter inserts. There is just no travel at the height people want to run their cars.

would there be any danger of the adjuster/perch sliding off if I were to flip the sleeve upside down? If it came loose, I don't really see anything to stop it.

There are two collars. They get locked in place by tightening them against each other. They won't go anywhere. I've been running mine like that since day one.

None. Unless you want to run shorter inserts.

I'm sorry, I might be a bit retarded, but there's no need for welding with these?

does anyone know how much more clearence is gained for offset by removing most of the oem front spring perches?
