EEWAGON squad thread
And ya i definitely scrape speed bumbs, cuz if i'm not, it's not low enough for me :]
I'd be stoked "Lower", however, I often chauffer (to-and-from school) my kids around and I still want them to enjoy the "Ride" as well as I do.......... Draggin' flaps all day!!
Konis or stock blown shocks won't ride any differently if they're at zero travel. Not hating or anything, but at some of the ride heights I see on H-T in general using off the shelf Konis and slammed on coil-over sleeves I wonder why bother buying the Konis at all?
The only way you can use any of that shock at crazy low heights is to:
A. Have super stiff spring rates
B. Have extended tophats
I've installed, driven, owned, and ridden on TONS of different set-ups so I can honestly say tucking 14'' and 13'' tires on shocks/sleeves cannot ride well at all. You need threaded body adjustable body full coil-overs to ride dumped and retain some shred of ride quality.
I'm just posting this so people don't think that they can go out and buy quality parts and ride on bumpstops and actually enjoy the ride. I'm not trying to be a dick - I'm honestly posting it more as a "public service announcement" type deal.

He knows what he's talking about.
In regards to "outline" above. A and B is equipped option for wagovan and I'm not even that "slammed"......... on 16's w 205/40's... eg has almost identical setup; "Ride" quality is better and it's way more "dumped", it boils down to personal preference...

Well like B18C5-EH2 just said, if your completely slammed dont expect too much of a difference from blown stock suspension. But when i lift up my Ground Controls to a clean drop, not slammed, its A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE! Lets just say i dont have to look for the cracks in the road anymore haha
D2's are perfect. The front is the same height as before but rides 100 times better and the rear is a little high for now until I get my LS wheels back on. But yea my bad man I was at school all day today. Then had to cut some hair. Didn't have time to get on HT. We should meet up though. Im down. Maybe next weekend or so. I got a calculus midterm coming up & I need to study. Haha.
Ball up, as in basketball? I try to get out too every other night. Maybe we can meet up Sunday or Monday and check out each other rides. Ill give you a text.
seems like people like it so i'm gonna take it to be digitized. i wish i was closer so i could hoop. every saturday when it's dry & warm some friends & i play. they call me the albino charles barkley.
hell yea... HxC the sticker looks dope!!
i want one... oh and new shot of the wagon comin sooon!!
be ready!!
edit: well here goes a teaser... hope ya like...
