    I thought I read somewhere they were being discontinued. Any particular reason you don't like the sports? Ended up liking mine just fine :)

    A-the sports are a bit more expensive
    B-I assumed "sport" to mean a sport suspension, i.e. Rougher riding. I don't haul butt over wash board roads (usually haha) so I was gonna go with the softer riding Nitros.

    Whatever was in the ome pack from wheelers feels pretty smooth to me. I'm not into a rough ride after the coilovers on my subi.

    I gotcha. the only bad thing I've heard about combining ome coils with 5100 shocks is that the ride may be a little rougher than with the n91s shocks. But if the sports are also rougher than the n91s shocks then it may not be worth the difference between the 5100's and sports. I guess that's what I'm trying to say/ask

    I love my sport shocks...:notsure:

    I wouldn't be worried about running them. I think they ride great. I think it'd ride awesome with the 881s. I've got them the stiffer 883s and I still like the ride.

    I went from the regular nitrochargers to the sports. Much prefer the sports. Firmer yet smoother.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Ok so have some Daystar 1.25" lift shackles but the bushings dont fit the OME Dakars I just got. I pressed out the sleave but still doesnt fit. Anyone know of some busings that will also fit the greaseable bolts?
