    go with the HD's. take a risk and it wil be worth it.lol but dont do sport springs like i said in our PM. I have the HD's with HR sports and its a decent ride. I would much prefer stiffer springs. a budy of mine has HD's with ground control custom spring rates and after ridding in that i made the decision to not go with the sports.

    ive been told my car looks different absorbing bumps, it floats and leaning in turns is also a noticeable difference. ive has this setup since may. holds up great
    m20 is plenty. im simply a drifter.

      I was on them for a while with IE3's , pretty slammed for using HD's

      Never bottomed out. Also did autocross with them , handled fine. When i pulled them. They were exactly the same as when I put the, in.

        edit: exactly. people trip without even trying them out.

          The friend I mentioned earlier in the thread is now running his HD shocks with IE3 springs and it feels great. While he had it apart he shortened the front bump stops about 1" to increase travel a bit.

            I was under the impression that ix hds were shorter than no ix shocks. Is that true? I just ordered a set of ix hds to go with my GE coils..

              That's true. You can only run them with shortened housings.
