Thanks Jon ( DBRODS & MINI"S )

i had a severe issue of unloading the rearend, come to find out after talking to some suspension chassics guys i needed to get the truck of equal level, well to accomplish that i purchased a set of coil overs Jon and i discussed. well it gave me the level i needed on all 4 corners! just from a snap of the throttle i can feel the front wanting to rise, not easy on street tires , this should work well on launch now ( hopefully ) ever since the new power plant i yet to get a clean pass at a mere 10.4 with a 150 shot of nitrous at 131. hopefully with these coil overs i can actually plant the power.




Also decided to do a gear swap back to 4:10s since we are looking at a big dose of nitrous here soon!

 

Sweet, hope they work out..They look badass

 

man that thing has got to be a beast... the coil overs should help and lots more adjustability with them

 

Think Im going to be ordering a set of those, been talking to Jon about it.

Hows the ride and handling compared to coils?

 

actually alot better, specially since i can adjust them and also the back, makes for a nice ride down the highway and around town!! easy install also!!

next thing is ill be doing a anti-roll bar ! help from body roll! been talking to a few chassic guys, they wanna do the work but i dont have the pockets right now to supply the funds lol!!

ive got about 1800 miles on the 408 with quite a few nitrous runs! shes getting better each time out. just hoping this solves alot of my issues with slipping off launch!

 

Awesome. You have those ridetech coilovers in back too or something else?

Do you have a front swaybar right now? I thought about a torsion style ARB in the rear of mine but I'll probably just do a cheap swaybar.

Hopefully this 408 stays together a while. No comp springs this time though so it should live. lol

 

i bet there gone work good..hope to buy me a set soon

 

no sway bar up front, i have QA1s in back, thinking of changing to AFCO for the back with double adjustables. ill never promote another spring from comp to anyone. that was a costly repair when the springs broke.. ill leave it at that!

 

Any pics of the ride hieght?
What did you order the shocks to fit?

 

Did you add any kind of reinforcement to the shock mounts? I've seen doing this swap discussed more than a few times but the question has always been brought up about the strength of the shock mounts holding the entire vehicle weight.
