    I'm 440f/625r and it's wayyyy too soft for my liking. Be sure to share your thoughts on those coils. Was always curious how well they rode.

        Im on 600/750 and I love it.

        Also, I hope you understand those BC's arent just a bolt in coilover. Just FYI if you didnt already know.

        Its actually a lot more involved that you'd think

            I'll let you know how things go when I receive my coilover.

            From the install threads i've read the 2" at the bottom is to center the sleeve that you weld on. It slides over and you actually weld to the very bottom of where the strut tube meets the spindle. So you'd have to cut the BC tube 1" shorter as well in order to achieve the result your looking for.

              no,if you cut the oem housing to one inch the sleeve can move down more which is why i order shorter spring to have more sleeve.

              but I'm not looking to slam my car to the ground because of horrible streets in Houston.
