Congrats on the purchase.

why are the tender/helper springs mounted on top. Most I have seen are installed on the bottom. What spring rates are you going with?

Nice coilover combo! I checked out your videos and the power sliding looked fun for sure. What is the deal with your BOV, it sounds like it's fluttering like crazy at part throttle more than it should be.

Nice coilovers! I have the same ones but not Robispec. I assume they sent you the wrong spring length for the rear? If so, it happened to me too, actually my fronts were too long as well to allow for inside tire clearance.

Where did you end up mounting the rear external res. at? never mind, now that I am on the 2nd page, I see u mounted them the same place I did. I wish I could get them into the trunk. ;-)

Nice Nils, You are going to love them. I havent had my 5200 doubles on track yet, but every auto-x so far on them and im scoring 970's and up, and winning my class outright, and still working on the setup. Have fun with them, they truly are awesome shocks!
