By the way he does a package deal with viking shocks.  Im getting their front coilover kit as well. 

This may be a naive question but what is the benefit of installing aftermarket coilovers?

You can tune then. Double adjustable meaningyou csn adjust compression and rebound

Does anyone have experience here with Sulastic shackles? I’m currently around 3/5 drop with McG’s spindles and lowering struts in front with the flip kit and lift hangers in the back.

I’m wondering if I can use the Sulastics for a better ride in back but I’m not sure if they’ll work with the shackle flip and lift hangers. Any experience would be great.

Hey ladies and gents. The 10mm spacer up front on the belltech struts. What's the point of that one? Belltech wont tell me anything besides "it needs to be there for geometry" After I get the money for my c-notch I'll drop more than the 4/7. Do control arms and a new shackle in the rear. But I'm tired of belltech saying "because" and not telling me why. Thanks in advance

You dont want control arms.  I use mcg struts

No? Why not? Only reason I ask is. Do the mcg struts drop you more than the belltech set up? I'll def. Read up on it, but since we're talking might as well ask.

Djm and inez control arms are horrible. They dont always align and the balljoint they use go out quickly.  

 

The mcg struts lower 0-3"

See belltech says theirs are up to 3" drop as well but when u call and talk to their horrible tech support they just say "no, they dont allow u to go that low"

True. But I just read the install instructions.  As I didnt do mine. Anyways, they have u install 2 - 1/2" spacers on the strut.  There's the other inch I was wondering about.

What I was confused about is they say 

Drop spindles are 2" drop

Drop springs are 2" drop

Struts? Idk 2" drop

 

That's 6" cause I have all 3. And I'm only dropped 4"

 

In the pic u can see the spacers they want u to add on top of the struts. That's 1" added. Where's the other 1"??

I don't have any spacers on my right side strut.

Did you use the supplied spring spacers?

To make up for the lean? I was thinking the same thing.
