    I gotcha. I have the same setup and wasn't happy with the flex or road manners and had DSM re-valve them. It took them a couple times, but they got it dialed in.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Now you get to keep all the mud and salt inside your condom!

    Just spray you coilovers with fluid film before you go. Cheaper and better.

    Nice the only thing I wonder about those would be trapping the moisture in? I guess thats better than letting the F'n salt sit on them. Due to you not needing the front components I changed plans and will be refurbin all the installed equipment and changing out the now 7 month old rusted Fox CO's to Icon maybe next week. Question: you have Icon's in the front, if so did you get the IVD coating?

    hmm, good point..will do more research before i need that...

    damn, 2" would have been fun...

    got these on an impulse buy really when i was offered a good deal...didn't take any extra options on the coating..

    sounds like i could have gotten icon 14x700 springs installed most likely and could have gotten the coating...oh well
