(01-09-2013, 07:20 PM)winmutt Why not just go with H&R springs or the sport lines??? Interesting about the kmacs for the front, when I went for an alignment they said I was maxed out... What are you doing for rear camber?
The issues with H&R are too low ride height, and they're progressive. 2 strikes.
I have front sportlines on order. Since shorter wheelbase vehicles need more rear spring rate and the R129 is such a heavy pig, I seriously doubt the rear sportline spring rate will be as high as the R129 rears.
I'll be putting some Kmacs in the rear before long. Fixing rear camber is cool, but I also want the inner LCA bushing to be nice and stiff too, which is what I'll get with Kmac bushings. A stiff bushing in that location should increase rear traction while cornering.
