My friend who does suspesion at a Ford dealership put them on for me, I just watched https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/laugh.gif . They have this big grinding machine there so it wasn't hard at all. Umm I guess yuo could use a Dremmel but it would take forever and you might have to use a few grinders because they will wear down.

i have mine set to 3 because of upstate ny roads tend to have some major potholes, and i think 2 would be fine with loweing springs but im on coils and sitting low on them so i went with 3 and when i have my 18's on i can hit some very very nice corners with it and i love to https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif.

You realize that 2 is softer than 3. Like stated above, 1 is the softetest setting and 4 is the stiffest, so you have yours set really stiff.
Listen guys i ordered my Kyb's this week and am waiting for them i also ordered the Progress drop. Wat would be a perfect setting, for daily driving and looks good.
Also i kno the front struts you can change by turning a screw on the actual strut mount but how about the back ones, how do u adjust those?
thanx

Adjusting the KYB's doesn't really have anyhing to do with looks, just handling. I suggest you get an alignment after the drop and wait a few days for the Progress springs to settle, then play around with the settings on the KYB's until you get them the way you like it. There really isn't a perfect setting, it's all about personal preference. I'm rolling on 18's with the Progress springs and I can't take the stiff ass ride, so I have my shocks on the softest setting.
As far as adjusting the rears, they adjust the same way as the fronts. You have to take the back seat out to get to the top of the shock. So, get the setting where you like it before you put the seat back in.
Thanx DANJ, anyother questions ill post wen i actually get them installed
Im not installing them a shop is, also i was plannin on getting the four wheel alignment at the sametime as the drop. so u dont hav to worry about that. Ill update as soon as i get my drop.
I appreciate it
I ordered my shocks and struts yesterday...I should have the by the end of next week and installed shortly after that.
My car wasn't aligned after the drop last year.
Should I get it done after the shock/strut install?
Well Jay thats wat i plan on doin, but my reason is b/c i got the practically brand new tires from Bryant.
Jay are you takin to Rich's shop they chatged him 175 for installation of springs, struts and shocks, and 4 wheel alignment.
Oh yea i ordered my springs from ptuning, and i check my order status and it says they are 2 to 4 weeks back order, should i call and ask or jus wait and see?
Kev if I'm not mistaken it was only 175
and I got someone in Jersey that's gonna help me do the install for nothing
and then I just gotta bring car to mechanic for alignment
Yea j sorry i meant 175. i changed it. Wat do u think about the price.
Oh yea J wat setting are u gooin to put yor kyb's on or are u goin to test it out.?
I'm gonna test them out and see...but I'm thinking 2 like most of the other members.
As far as price thats a good price. by me it's 200 plus alignment
Yeah, Jay, definitely get an alignment. When I got mine after I installed my springs the mechanic told me my alignment was way out. Probably from hitting all those damn pot holes. Even if you don't do work on your suspension, it's a good idea to get an alignment every once in a while.
