    Pls help! Suspension tech w/Koni's

    Hi Ya'll,
    Sorry I have'nt been up here in a while but work and school is pretty much the way it's been going. Anyway I FINALLY got around to lowering my monster truck! I just got the 2 inch suspension tech's spring from NOPI and will order the Koni's from Shox.com on Monday. I have 3 questions

    1)I hear that the suspension techniques don't really lower your car in the front? This other user has them installed and explains in another post...is this true??? Or is he crazy and just installed them wrong???? Will they drop the car 2 inches to look like Mike's car????

    2)What should I replace while doing the drop? Do I need to order new bolts from Honda or do the Koni's come with new bolts for the struts??? Pls let me know, Mike or Jim... any suggestions???

    3)Okay-- Should I have gotten the 2.25 from Sprint instead? Is that what you have Mike?? Pls let me know.
    Thanks, Jay

    That's it.

    Hey yall,
    I got like 12 inches for the front and about 12 coils.
    And fr the rear I got about 13.5 inches and 12 coils as well.
    I really need to know if these springs are just crap OR did you guys install them backwards?? Or did you not put the springs all the way into the seat correctly???? What were the stock coils measuring when you pulled them out??/
    Thanks, Jay
