Front coil over installed
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!

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

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.
