looks good D i'd just leave it be and work on the outside
came out pretty good D...when you painting it? what color
yep when i first installed them i adjusted the spring rate to be a little stiffer, and i set the dampening at like 24 rear and 20 front went for a drive...going over paint lines felt like speed bumps lol, got back and set the rear at 18 and front at 13...still need to adjust it a bit to get perfect but teh ride is good overall and handles greatQuote:

also i havent set my preload at all, i know it should be down when corner balancing but i wanna just at least have all of them to be even
one problem im having is that the ride height on the front is very even on both sides but when u take the wheels off and put ur finger under the strut and feel how far down the black threaded piece is inside the grey one u will notice that the one is almost all the way down while other still has more to go
i hope this made any since at all
that means one of ur top perches is lower than the other, so the black part is threaded differently to get the same height
oh crap!! Where have you been?Quote:

Yes careful consideration must be made when adjusting the damper settings fore and aft. Improper settings can result in horribly bad oversteer or understeer when turning, or axle positioning during travel over bumpy or uneven surfaces. Or worse poor brake performance.Quote:
