Isn't it a great feeling to arrive at home with a nice sized box on your doorstep? You get a tingling feeling inside and have to open it up almost immediately? Yes, very good times indeed!

This is what I got!

60lbs of fun.

Gawd they are sexy!

I am on the same boat as kornholio. Damn this weather, damn it to hell! Once I know there will be no more snow. Which is kind of hard to tell when you live in a place where it can be 61 degrees one day then -10 degrees 24 hours later with snow.

Nice I've had my D2's in the garage for 2 months now. Waiting on time to finish my new paint job and bodykit.

You guys will flip.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!! You suck...

But in all seriousness, you should give them to me...haven't you ever heard the phrase "when someone else is less fortunate, give your shit to them"?

Ah yes it is a great feeling isn't it. Like xmas. And WORD on the weather...ugh. It shouldn't be possible to have a 60 degree drop in temperature in only a couple hours. THAT is rediculous. Be sure to slam that bitch and show us. Looks great dude.

The korny one.

Its neaver to cold to work on a car, graage or not. I have been taking my car apart for the last 3 weeks now...outside.

MyNeonSaysHi · Post by **MyNeonSaysHi** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 2:49 pm

Couple more picts:

Rear:

Front:

I could of got the camber plates for the rear, but they aren't necessary. The main reason is because they are $150 extra for a set.

I have to get my SEE up a bit. I don't want it to be scrapeing on the ground.

The weather gets insane out here in Kansas. Anything is possible out here when you are smack dab in the middle of the USA.

I could work on it, no doubt. Its the snow that bothers me the most. Can't drive a slammed car in the snow. Thats why I got coilovers, so when winter rolls around I can raise it some.

Awesome dude. Good choice in product. If you need a place to install them, you can drive up to St. Joe sometime, bring Andrew, and we can use the shop here at work. Lifts, lots of tools, 70 degrees......

sxxxt · Post by **sxxxt** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 8:35 pm

wait wait wait a second, with those coilovers you dont have to use a wrench to lower it. you just turn those black things at the top? and how low can it go.

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 8:47 pm

No, the knob is for adjusting damping, not ride height.

And those coilovers will go low enough that you can't drive it. Not really a concern.

oh well i got all excited for nothin.

Thanks for the offer! I want to install them close to me so I can get it aligned right away. Very simple install too since this replaces the entire SRT MacPherson strut.

have fun man. i had a blast doin my Megan's (BC's).

I was really considering the Megans then I looked into them on reviews and personal opinions. People were saying the ride was pretty bad mostly due to the spring rates. The BC's are redisgned with better valving and better spring rates. They also offer and inverted one as well. The old BC's were basically Megan/IPP/D2/K-sport etc. I have heard nothing but positive reviews on the new BC's.
I plan to put them in as is too and mess around with the ride height etc before I get the car aligned.

How much with an without shipping?

Two vendors are offering them for $1000 shipped. I said "X" vendor is offering them for $940. Then "Y" vendor said they would match. Then I go back to "X" vendor and say the other guy offered $900. But it didn't work with the "Y" vendor so I got em for $900 shipped. Would be nice if there were more aftermarket struts available for the SRT but there is only 1. The Tokico Illuminas which run $640. Then factor in springs for what, $200. Yeah, coilovers is the best option by far.

I can adjust the height with this special tool they gave me. Very simple to do.

Actually I found some Koni adjustables that are made for the SRT. They are close in price to the Tokico's if I remember correctly.

Koni's require you to cut/modify your stock struts to make em work.

biggrobb1995 · Post by **biggrobb1995** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 3:56 pm

No cutting needed. These are adjustable struts/shocks.

Nice!!! I wonder why there are no real pictures of them. I also wonder what kind of lowering springs are recommended and what kind of drop they can handle.
