    I got mine mounted here without changing any fittings. Clears 295/75/16s with 3.25" BS.



    Hoping to get them mounted to the coil bucket gussets when I get those welded up. Little disappointed in the lack of a proper resi mounting option for the 1st gens.

    I considered ADS as they look solid and never had heard anything bad about them....did not know they were manufactured here, AZ...got such a good deal on ICON I could not refuse...but I would expect to see more of this setup, and will consider them again in the future.

    Yep if you call ADS directly or pretty much any of the vendors (DSM, MCM, Headstrong, etc) they can probably get you just about anything you desire from different spring rates to different color springs to whatever you may think up.

    So how you liking the rear bypass option? I was debating king/fox or icon but since I saw that MCM has those rear bolt on bypasses, I'm really contemplating those instead. Is MCM the only ones to carry that option or can I get them from ADS directly or downsouth?

    Do you know how many threads are showing on your coilovers? I'm thinking about bringing mine down a bit...

    I don't know what happen to that guy but I sure like them. They are very adjustable compared to clickers and perform very well. I couldn't be happier with them.
    If u don't know about bypasses they make a clicking noise from the check valve balls. It's not bad(only noticeable at low speeds) and it's funny when people hear you pulling into a gas station.
    I got mine from MCM but u could call the other places to see if they have them. Oh and they make girls at the mall go crazy lol :thumbsup:

    Light Racing with a better paint job. My last set rusted easily so I re painted these right out of the box.
