[QUOTE="Fade 2 Black, post: 6290850, member: 1808"] After doing my homework and research I ordered the RGMP3550-3 QA1 kit from Paradise Racing - they have [b]the best[/b] prices of anyone on QA1 stuff :rockon: I also got the spanner wrench/thrust bearing kit to make adjustments a cinch, part number 7888-110. The stock hieght coils I had in there wieghed 20# each and the old QA1 R's were 2# each according to my bathroom scales so I'd say actual is 20-22# per side for the old stuff. The new coilovers wieghed 14# each so I figure the swap saved 12-15# overall. :banana: The kit listed above has the 90/10 valved drag spec shock and 550# springs. On to the pics: The springs supplied are machined flat on each end and on the top I used the 3/8" urethane coil spacers I already had. [IMG]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9436/coiloverkit005vm3.jpg[/IMG] Bolted into the pocket of the DJM LCA's with the supplied QA1 hardware. I did have to step the bolt holes up from 1/4" to 3/8" which was quick work with a unibit. [IMG]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/7341/coiloverkit006ou9.jpg[/IMG] Everything bolted up. [IMG]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/9956/coiloverkit008ut0.jpg[/IMG] Access to the adjustment knob. [IMG]http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/5897/coiloverkit009kf6.jpg[/IMG] I got the initial ride hieght set pretty close and went for a drive. I set the shocks to #10 first since my old ones were on #5. The ride was GREAT! The springs are softer of course but not bad at all, I can dial up the shocks if needed. I'm also running without the front sway bar still. I rechecked the hieght after coming back and it's about 3/8" lower than where I started so I'll have to raise it up a bit tomorrow. The total cost was under $500 and I can now raise/lower the front as I like. [/QUOTE]
