so with just the rears you noticed a big difference in hooking at the track? are those single adjustable? were you running slicks or drag radials?

i have kyb single adjustables all around and didnt go with the QA1coilover setup for fear of breaking them on the mean potholed streets of nyc. the kybs dont seem to transfer the weight all that well on the street with my prokit

WOW GUYS, I really resurrected this thread!

OK Merv, I’m getting how the little top & bottom brackets with bolts work. What’s the two rings with holes in them for? The two thingies between the two spanner wrenches in the pic.

Nice roll cage, no fat chicks in that back seat!

He CRULES, I have the KYB single adjustables too. JUNK. Both in the front puked out all their fluid. Freekin car feels like I'm riding The Cyclone.

I'm gonna change the rear KYB's out to coil-overs before they blow up too.

Yea, they are just single adjustable, and I noticed a big difference. I was using MT ET STREET DR's, size 275/50R15, on a 15x8 Draglite, I had them at 12 psi, and I was cutting 1.56 60ft's all night, and got both front Wheels off the ground on the last pass..
The only thing with them is I think the right one may have blown out, but I adjusted the pressure, and it sat back to normal, so I think it was just the Vavle hanging possibly.

Those Plates have to be welded into where the Stock Springs sat into. You weld them on the inner ring of that circle to where the bump is in the Body. When you get under it and get the Stock Springs out, you will know what I mean.

when you got yours were they super soft? when i took them out the box and tried to compress them it was like they had no compression. i was able to squish them down with no effort regardless of the setting. i talked to a few people who said theirs were like that too. it looked like the adjustability only affected the rebound.

Right now it's shitty cause all the phones and internet got cut off, I can't call home or anything. Right now I'm using Wireless that one of the guys has.

Hell of a ******* time for that to happen.

No, I was saying that the Moser 9" is a hell of alot better than the 12-bolt. Lots of people have issues with the 12-Bolt and how the Torque Arm bolts to it.
