Clinton,

Why don't you just ride stock for a bit and send off your HKS units? I would suspect that once a bracket is made for the HKS C/O's, the ride will be superior over the stock units........ not to mention that us with HKS units would great appreciate it!

With that said, how long did UAS say it would take to make brackets for the HKS units?

bumpstops



no bumpstops




looks better already, nice job.




PS: not to thread jack, but to the other guys in here that have been contributing info and pics of their setups, thank you... a few more things... the removal of the bumpstops gave him another inch of drop.. will there be any downside to leaving the bumpstops off with the UAS bags/tein cs coilover combo? would it even be necessary to ditch the bumpstops with the tein cs v2 to achieve this same amount of drop as he now has here, considering hes using a stock strut and my tein cs strut would be cranked all the way down to max drop before the bag gets installed over it? dont want to damage anything and would like to know the risks of running this setup without them and if it is even necessary... is it dumb to assume that say the tein cs v2 provides two inches of lowering, that right off the bat the cs/uas bag combo would automatically be able to drop two inches lower then the stock strut/uas bag combo? sorry im such an air nub.

BippuPxr... how much did your KYB-GR2 shocks cost? Do you think I could still use the hardware in the UAS kit that is ment for the stock struts on those KYBs (if thats what you did).

Thanks Toeb! I think Im going to see if there is some way I can use my HKS with this kit (when I get it tomarrow ). If not, then I will have to look into the KYB's. Thank you to everyone for all the helpfull info!
