Default I agree that the "mechanics" of it should be P&P...

Using the 1/2 " NPT fitting is just that. Extending the Sensor arms is simple, its just getting the it dim. to work with something like the KYB Coilover or PSS9, etc.

It is intriging...at 189.00 per corner, plus the cost of the Coilover and Labor..its costly, but may just be the answer.

Default So a note on spring rate:

I don't know what the spring rate on these would be, but in general, when you are stacking springs on coilovers, you need to factor in the spring rate on both of them, and the overall rate will be less than either.

Remember Paul, one case of Colorado beer. I may make you drive out here to get it, though.

Default Why don't somebody make a stiffer airspring, eliminating the air ride is one thing, but not having

the convenience of simply driving through the snow or mud.....well, tough call Paul.
Any idea on how much weight this could save on the car if you convert?
