Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I went diffused on mine and it works great for me

 

My 13" 600 lb fox coils aren't going to cut it anymore. looking for 14" 600 or 650 lb coils.

Got 700 lb BNIB but thats too much for my truck.

Anybody got some sitting around?

 

Nice!

Also i think peter might have a set of kings laying around. Not positive though
@Bentrodder

 

Nice bolt ons

 

I have a set of King 14" x 600#

 

Thanks Peter. I'm interested but not too stoked on the blue coil without kings on board. I'll keep looking for a silver coil for a minute. You still have the spring compressor/ability to swap coils?

 

There is Bodega Dunes, Sunset beach in watsonville area, Seacliff state beach & New Brighton in the Aptos\Santa Cruz area, Sweetwood camp in the Half Moon Bay area, Wrights Beach campground in the Bodega bay area. I am having trouble remembering/finding a private one that is on some bluffs overlooking the ocean that was up north a bit in the Bodega Area. Be advised, might be very hard to get a spot on such short notice. Also, there are some really good spots in Big Basin but they are not on the beach and no ocean view. (Close but you would still have to drive)

 

Bodega Dunes and Lawsons Landing are in the Bodega Bay/Dillon Beach area, but also tough to get a spot on short notice.

 

Ocean beach sf. Just like all the other houseless folk.

 

I do.

 

Think there is a mod day coming up too, I plan on doing the same thing with my stock Fox coils. There were talks about getting a spring compressor there. These stock Fox coils are too soft.

 

209's got a mod day rolling up, but we don't have access to a compressor that'll work for coilovers yet. I need to put my 700lb springs on and a few other people need it for various things.

 

I have these. They'll do the job reasonably fast if you have air tools. Turning them with hand tools is a non-starter, especially on 700# coils.

@Uphillshunter has some of those and we tried to use the to adjust preload on mine and it got kinda sketchy.

 

We used them several times at @little squirt's and they seemed fine. However, he added some thicker washers because the originals started to bend.

 

and we did them off the truck.

 

you don't need to compress the coil to adjust preload.

 

The split ring kept catching on the coil and we couldn't move it without compressing. At least I think that's what was going on, I'm pretty mechanically ignorant.

 

I can’t help but think @jberry813 would be the owner of this brewery

 

I like the softness of the 600 with the adjustments I have on the clickers I can get the ride compliant on and off road. But the extra weight is putting them at max and I got a winch and bumper coming so... just don't want a stiff pogo stick on each front corner so I'm thinking bumping to 14" 600 and see how they handle the added weight. If it's not enough I'll bump to 650.
