    They are absolutely hideous. I can't wait to get rid of them.

    Want to buy them? :D

    It's exactly what I need, but $10 at a minimun quantity of 50, so $500...haha don't need titanium that bad. If I could manufacture the brackets then I definitely would be tempted to buy a bunch of them, but that's not feasible right now.

    Thanks, but only do it if you happen to be by them and have extra time. I can't afford to put it on yet so I'm just waiting till the end of the month anyways. If he doesn't send me anything by then, I'll be pissed and looking elsewhere. Any progress on that SC for you?

    I go up past the store once every two weeks. And unfortunately I had to back off that deal cause I had a "mishap" with a vending machine at work. Apparently they are not all made out of plexiglass. Lol still waiting to find out the total cost for it though.

    Word to wise don't "hip bump" vending machines.

    ^^^:rofl:

    Ben, maybe you can help me decide on spring rates lol

    I'm exhausted and have been mind-fucked by all this math for determining spring rates and I'd like to order these tonight to have them next week so I can get my truck rolling. I just need a good ballpark til I can actually find a vendor to correctly tune these coilovers and get setup with correct springs.

    With that said:

    Polyperformance emailed me a couple weeks ago saying 200/300#, but it may be a bit light.... soooooo

    6" shaft showing, 2-3" preload.... front is 5up/7 down... rear is 6up/8down

    Front 2.0 12" coilovers = 2.5 ID 10", 250# upper and 14" 350# lower

    For the rear... is where I have no clue.

    2.0 14" coilovers = 2.5 ID 12" OR 14", ???? upper and 16" ????? lower

    I've read so many threads over on pirate.. still don't know where to start with my spring rates. :cool:

    Your close.

    Front 2.0 12" coilovers = 2.5 ID 10", 250# upper and 14" 350# lower
    Rear 2.0 14" coilovers = 2.5 ID 12", 300# upper and 16" 350# lower

    *I have no idea what I'm talking about, FYI.*

    Okie dokie captain. Let me do some math and look up a few things and I will get back to you pronto ;)

    btw PP is probably gonna be pretty close for the rear. I should have an answer for you here later tonight and look at the brocoma thread on Pirate. He used Profender COs on his build an talks about the valving. How much extra weight do you think you have in the rear btw ( I mean like over stock)

    Sweeeet thanks man

    Poly didn't give me a recommendation for the rear, just the front.. though I think 200/300 was a ballpark for both :rolleyes:

    I usually don't have any weight in the rear. Just my recovery shit and a bag of tools, sleeping bag, backpack.. maybe 75lbs. Practically nothing.

    I'll check out Matt's build again... the reason I didn't really look at his rear spring rates is because it's a tacoma, and it's bobbed.

    Lemme know.. I'm horrible at math so even playing with a spring calc is mind numbing LOL


    I could also run a 14" upper on the rear c/o's too... which I could go for a softer spring rate with 2-3" preload as well...
