Come to think of it my 97 Honda's rear struts look like our front shocks and they are spring over types. Not saying it would work but it is they type we would need.

Looks like a good setup. Looking forwards to some input once its on the street cause I (like most others) am tired of the rough t-bar ride.

How much did the springs and socks cost you so we know what a total build would cost would be.

Springs were $65 each so $130
Shocks were $160 each so $320
Procomp adapters $24
Spacers $5

So everything besides the brackets will cost roughly $500 depending on what brands you choose.

This would be great for the serious guy who spends a lot of time on the track as well. Afco and Strange also make shocks that will work with this setup. I know if I had a 4wd, this would be FIRST on my list.

The sides are completely independent so you could preload one side to adjust the height however you want.

That's the major benefit of coilover suspensions and swapping over to them.

It gives us all so many more options for spring rates, shock lengths and adjustability.
