the mechanic broke 2 lug nuts pulling on and off the springs so now i have to get those fixes before i can really test the GRIP springs

but easily almost twice as good at cornering without loosing traction

Nice!

Why the wheel spacers? Wrong offset on the rims?

Looks great. People in the works forums are saying that the RRM G.R.I.P. springs make you alter the bump stop. Because they lower 1.5", but if you only go 1.4" like they have you don't have to. Is this true?

I wish I knew were I saw that post. Hmmmm, then if the altering of the bump stops is a myth, G.R.I.P. here I come!!


Forgot to ask: Hows the ride? Stiff? Smooth? I have an a** load of potholes where I live, how do they hold up on holes?

there were no special instructions about bumpstops in the box. rides better than stock in handling but im not shure about pot hole impacts.

Oh I see. Thats good, cause when I read that the G.R.I.P. springs require you to alter the bump stops, that completly turned me away from them. But now that I see it was a rumor that makes me happy.


How hard were they to install? How long?

it is a little bouncy on big bumps maybee the bumpstops improve that if you modify them but its not bad, today driving with my friends i had them scared how good it handled they thought they were dead lol.
