Probably longer. 2007 or 2008?
Not at all. I have 18 led bar lights for the ceiling to put up.

You're the 1st patient.
I am already in Ohio at the moment
Oh yeah? No lube so I'll give you a pillow to bite
From 2" lower than stock to over 3" higher. Method 17x8 38et 502 wheels, Michelin Cross Climate 2 225/45/17 tires. Custom built BC coilovers. Swift Springs. Now I am able to get in and drive this terror.
Open to ideas on softer rear springs. Back end is like mine, a little stiff.

What spring rates are you running now boo?
Put some miles on it before you change the springs it will loosen up
Justin who won the build never found out. BC blew him off.
They have a few thousand miles on them from the Throtl build winner.
I might only need softer rear springs, front is nice. Rear is as stiff as my back
Hmmm.....
On mine I am running 500 front and 500 rear. The front is deliciously stiff, the rear is too bouncy. The rear is oversprung for the weight. A better setup would be 500 front, about 350-400 rear.
On the factory kw v3's that I still have on, spring rate was 400 front, rear was progressive at around 250-500ish range. The mismatch of linear and progressive springs, is the most annoying and unsettling shit you can do to a car. The front felt nice and well planted considering the weight of the car, the rear always felt untamed and all over the place.
I forget what the factory spring rates and exact corner weights were. I have to dig up those numbers from my ancient notes.
Anyway...
That's why I ask about spring rates. Now... with that kind of lift you have a ton of clearance and should have a fair amount more of suspension travel, so going softer will be desirable. Probably like a 250 front and 200 rear would be firm enough to reduce excessive squat/brake dive/sway to not feel dangerous, while still allowing that suspension to flex a little.
My numbers may be a little off. I'm quite high right now. But you get the idea.
Much love!
