Was there a significant difference? Did you also swap the bump stops?

its tempting but I've been reading that these don't ride so well? Dinan might be the way to go.
- nice wheels who makes them?

I did the bump stops as well. The H&Rs weren't horrible. They were fine 80% of the time, but if you hit a pothole or bump in the road you knew right away.

Thanks, they're ADV1's. Really depends on what your used to and the look your going for.

And this is not the case with the Dinan setup?

Agree 100%.

You still feel the bump with the Dinan, it's just not as harsh. I honestly haven't rode in one of these with the factory suspension, but I would think the Dinan is closer to it.

Why haven't I run into you?

FWIW (and the any prospective buyers), I did the H&R 2" drop myself but used the dinan bump stops. Car rides great, no real bounce, and potholes aren't as bad as the H&R2 + stock bump stocks.

So buy these from cm32001 and buy the Dinan bump stops and you'll be pretty happy.

Or cut your stock bump stops and save $200! Ask me how I know.

All the time!
I'm good friends withTed Pettit @ Dynamic Auto Tune and he does most of my tuning in collaboration with Active Autowerkes and Pure Turbos.

I haven't touched my bump stops but I'll agree with the OP that it's fine 80% of the time but you'll know if you hit something hard. I blame that more on the simple fact that I've got less shock travel now, I don't think it's a spring issue. I'm curious about the bump stops mod.

I looked hard at them and while they are similar to stock bump stops with the tops trimmed by about 1/4", there are other differences. The Dinan stops have a narrow rod hole and also have a different retainer mechanism on the inside.

I'm definitely the type to mod my own parts if feasible, but the Dinan stops are more than just chopped off OEM stops. If those other items are enough to make a big difference I don't know though.

Sorry for jumping in to another subject but, how did you remove your roof rack rails? I've been wanting to do this and most I was able to find on forums is DIY's for replacing rails, not deleting them.

If anyone interested I purchased these springs and the wife didn't like how low it made the car. Selling for $200

That's the same thing I was just thinking.

Nice looking ride. We'll have to get Gixxerboy down this way and meet up

Anyone still selling the springs?
