Got the Mustang top adjustable konis a few days back. My modified rsms slid right on and are ready to go.
Wondering if I'll need to remove the bump stops or at least trim them down. Might not be able to know that until I try them on.
Still trying to figure out rear trailing arm situation. I'm not sure if I want to add toe and camber correction or just replace bushings.

Yeah, I can't afford those DA's, but I really wanted them. Good to hear you have used the 1186 I couldn't find much info from people who used them with higher rates.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Well, then it looks like I made the right choice. What about your front setup?Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
