    How are the ads shocks when it comes to southern weather? We have a good bit of salt on the roads during winters (not as bad as others).

    So when adjusting coilover preload do u have to loosen the hex nuts on the spring cap or can you just turn the cap?

    My guess would be good, but honestly I'm in a climate where we don't need road salt.

    Loosen those hex nuts then turn the cap.

    Installed my suspension today. Finished late will post some pics of whole thing tomorrow. Test drive was awesome the ADS and deavers ride great. Matt @mcmfab was awesome and his recommendation on the suspension was spot on. Just waiting on the bumpstops for rear to come in. Added a pic this morning.

    Hi guys. Is it normal for the resi coilovers to make a short hiss sound when going slow over hard speed bumps? The sound doesn't bother me and there is no sign of leaking gas/fluid, just wanna make sure.

    TIA

    ...too much shit to list.
    Hiss or squish?
    Hiss sound is an indication of a leak. Squish sound is normal. Only real way to tell is to hook up a gauge and check/refill nitrogen pressure. Warning...because the nitrogen cavity is so small, even checking the pressure will cause it to drop 10+ psi...so not recommended to do at home unless you have a way to top it off.

    more a squish i guess. I'll post a video if i can capture the sound. it makes sense that the fliud/gas moving through the resi and valve would be audible.

    What are the ADS options for a rear shock?

    I'm guessing:

    -single cylinder
    -single cylinder w/ remote resi
    -double, triple bypass?
    -resi mounted on cylinder?

    Are the resi styles adjustable?
