[QUOTE="cunning plan, post: 544980, member: 4090"] Thanks for everyone's research, feedback and input to this thread. I was reminded that I have to get front shocks organised when I found the Empi Coilover ones on my shelf which were sold as being compatible with the 3.5" TPH Dropped Spindles (they are not, they are too long, which means you have to compress to fit on to the mountings, which, therefore, raises the ride height and the ride stiffness, even at 'minimum' settings. This leaves you with no adjustment to ride quality and a raised height :roll: :? ). For reference, they are these ones: [img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BrbeZ8BpL.jpg[/img] Regarding Gaz, I need to confirm with measurements when I am closer to purchasing, but from responses on here, I think I will be ordering: [b]16" Shock with 150lb 9" Coil-Spring.[/b] :party0021: I might try Re-using the Empi's on the rear the next time I can mock fit them. :| :shadey: [/QUOTE]
