    Looks good! Embrace the rake, man. Rake is life.

    Why are some ADS stickers yellow and some white? Seems like I see a lot of recent pics with yellow stickers too.

    I'm thinking my rear shocks are valved a bit too stiff. Anyone have any pointers on revalving these yourself? I've never worked on automotive shocks but I've rebuilt a Fox bike fork before... What all would I need/any good write-ups on doing this? Planning on swapping some 90degree fittings in at the same time too.

    I broke mine and went to a Craftsman #3 Phillips. Also, I found out if you disconnect the lower end of the coilover, it's far easier to adjust. :thumbsup:

    Clackamas is too congested now, I'd pick Sandy.

    Plus, it's closer to Hood. :thumbsup:

    No, but I'd be a bit concerned with chaffing on the spring. Over time, that will create a wear spot in the hose.

    I think it’s turned slightly from when I first mounted them. I’m fairly certain it was clear of the spring, but just barely. I didn’t notice that until I took the picture

    Hard to tell from that angle, but you always want hoses/lines pulled away from other components. Even vibration can cause wear over time.

    All the things!
    If you loosen the hose clamps and turn the resi until the decal is facing outwards, I think that will pull your hoses away from the coils. As another poster mentioned earlier, I think ADS has these set up to be installed with the logo facing outwards.

    yep, my hose sits about 3/16-1/4" from the coil after doing that
