Honest Question- What is the Real benifit of buying SSR LCA's or any other company for that matter? i dont see how just replacing it with basically a lighter copy can provide any benefits? This is an actual question im not tryin to be a smart *** here...

by the way...sweet pics..

I've read in a few places that, yes, they're lighter, but they also don't flex as much as the stock units, if at all... plus they look friggen awesome!

I don't think the stockers have much of a flex problem... I've had them mis-placed in a 13 ton press and they didn't bend.... so. I don't think that's really much of a benifit...

It DOES however reduce unsprung mass and allowst he suspension to function more responsively... is it worth it or even noticable... who knows...

Funny thing to me is that if I got them I would spray paint them or try to get them un-finished... the purple is just lame looking imo. but it's just my opinion.

Congrats... it looks like you've got a pretty sweet susp....

How do you adjust the damper on the N1.
