Thanks Sleepywgn, the preload was not touched at all, but its still bouncy as if they were riding blown shocks. Btw, do you know David-Bojangles Photography?

Throwing the 20s on, and lowering the rears made a big difference. I was on stock 16s with fat tires

So just the wheel change took care of the issues you were having?

Super old thread, but just ordered up a set of FF 2 in 14/10 for my LS. Parting out my air ride (d2 doublebellow struts FS!) to recoup some cash.
You have more aggressive fitment than me and from the video seems decent stiffness, so i took the chance and well see how they ride.
Sold my ls460 front bumper to back to stock so will overall be riding lower than before.

sleepywgn is also on 18" wheels so he will certainly be lower. why the removal of air ride? you can actually convert the FF2 coilovers to air ride which will be tons better than the D2s. see their "on-air" line of upgrades.
