you should rethink the k-sports. They don't handle superduper slammed from what I've read. I could be mistaken. I know D2's get low as well as the classic gc/koni. But you can always take out collars and cut the rear cup in the mean time.

well anything hella dumped will be bouncy, no way around it.

the collars are the little rings that are threaded onto the sleeves of the coilovers. If you have 2, take one out. The cup is the part in the rear that your spring would sit into if you used OEM springs or lowering springs. I don't have pics but just cut it down a bit.

I'm on koni/gc/top hats and I love them. spring rates for mine are 550front and 400 rear. If you went that route, I would go with 450front and 400 rear. I actually was going to buy 450's because it bounced so much until I got my new tires now they are just fine.

not sure on used. But check THMotorsports on HT. He runs a special. 900$ shipped for 4 shocks, 4 coilover sleeves, and 2 top hats. That's what I bought. Very fast shipping had everything in about 3 days. :thumbup:

I'm rocking K-Sports. They get low how they are but not low enough for me. The ride isn't too bad. I'm going to be getting the koni/gc/tophat setup Moosecakes was talking about. I should of went that route originally but can't pass up free ****. lol. Question for you Moosecakes, you just running the tophats up front? I have a buddy that runs them front and back and that hatch eats reflectors likes its frosted flakes.

Na I only have them up front. I need the im the rear though, it's pretty bouncy, my front rides like a dream now that I'm not sitting on my tires lol.

Reflectors scare me lol, already broke my oil pan once on one. I need a steel one ASAP

Yeah, when I had my bagged yota i killed allot of innocent reflectors. what a blast. lol. curious if anyone knew the difference between the red tophats and the grey tophats? is it just a color difference?

Those are the reflecting things following the road lines.

Here in holland (where i live) we call them "cat eyes", small round things marking the lines on the road, only seen in dark. :)
