  • DMS lowering spring install complete

    Yep just installed the DMS lowering springs ...Overall not to difficult but I did need to find new front shocks. When I was removing the Right front shock there was so much rust on the shock shaft that the threads were damaged. great fun finding shocks on a holiday good Old Kragen had a set so after about five hours they are in (DMS 1.3" lowering springs) here are some pics:

    Before ride height LF=26 3/4" RF=26 3/4" LR=28" RR=27 5/8"







    The after ride hieghts are: LF=25 1/2" RF=25 3/8" LR=27 1/4" RR=27"









    The ride seems to be much improved and the handeling is exelent

    Ya everyone seems to have that problem with that damn bolt on the Strut. I notice that you only did the front, or is that just me seeing things.

        It will drop a little more. After a couple of weeks of driving they will "settle" a bit more and drop a slight bit. It might not be too noticable but mine seemed to drop a bit after about 3-5 weeks of driving. Looks awesome bye the way !!!!
