TheMichael Posted February 12, 2014 Report Posted February 12, 2014 I recommend PTuning as well. They work on everything and everyone there is really nice. I second this... just had them install my coilovers not too far back, and I was very pleased with the price and the service. :top:

Cambo Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Everything's finally in... made an appointment with PTuning for this Friday. Mike has been awesome with responding to inquiries :top: Rich- really appreciate the offer to help, but PTuning is right around the corner from work. Just don't know when I'd have a free second to make it to Eldersburg! but again, thank you!! On a semi-related note, I recently threw on a strut bar and thicker rsb (22mm) (along with WMW's adjustable sway bar links). Good lord, why didn't I do this sooner? I've always read about the difference in handling that'd be felt but I never thought it would be this dramatic. Even during regular city driving I can feel the difference. and it's a BIG difference. Anyway, I'm preaching to the choir here lol, I know I'm late to the game! I'm really looking forward to what this Friday's suspension upgrade will do! 2009 MCS - Passenger seat delete--Rear seat delete--Arm rest delete--Cup holder delete--Seat Belt Delete--Cup holder added back because coffee

minime331 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 your shocks are they koni yellow or fsd? if they are fsd you can't use lowering springs with how the valving is made will destroy them STella- 14' Focus ST Roush CAI, Cobb access port stage1 tune, custom Ptuning 3" exhuast, Levels FMIC, Turbosmart BOV, rally armor mud flaps, more to come.

YOLO I bet you go through a lot of computer monitors like that don't you? Definately check your struts before you install them with lowering springs - Chris is right and it'll leave you a very, very unhappy camper if you blow out those new struts that way. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Definately check your struts before you install them with lowering springs - Chris is right and it'll leave you a very, very unhappy camper if you blow out those new struts that way. haha, thanks for the concern guys. :top: They're FSDs (it's on the box haha), I was actually aware of this limitation (Way includes it in the product description on his website), and was planning on running stock springs up until about a week ago. But while looking for an aftermarket oem length spring...folks on NAM pointed me towards the eibachs; apparently this set up is the only one that has lasted for others. Something about how it's the spring rate and not the actual length of the spring itself that is the limiting factor...and eibach springs are nearly identical to oem spring rates...and ultimately what enables this combo to work. Anyway, after a good amount of research, I feel comfortable running this set up. Others have had success...and that's all I need to hear. I know it's a still a gamble...oh well, my money to waste right?

cmcveay Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 Sounds like you've done your research. I'd still be concerned about the valving and internal bump stops but it sounds like it's working for others. The FSD's are great struts! 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
minime331 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Posted February 26, 2014 If it work awesome I just thought you Could only use oe Springs with fsd.

I'd still be concerned about the valving and internal bump stops but it sounds like it's working for others. The FSD's are great struts! yup, I'll admit I'm still slightly concerned the set up won't work, and that it's just been a fluke those where it has...but obviously that's not enough of a deterrant for me. I'm stubborn! and that's what everyone says about the FSDs! I'm looking forward to testing them out! I bumped my appt from lunch to first thing Fri morning so...I'm THAT much closer to have them on lolol. If it work awesome I just thought you Could only use oe Springs with fsd. Is there a price difference between the two fsd n yellow I want to say the FSDs ended up being slightly more expensive than 4 yellows...I think by about 80 bucks. This is off of Way's site though...you may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere. I just buy everything off of his site; ridiculously fast shipping! 2009 MCS - Passenger seat delete--Rear seat delete--Arm rest delete--Cup holder delete--Seat Belt Delete--Cup holder added back because coffee
