Thread: Suspension question

I've never touched the suspension on a DSM... just to be sure the fatter springs go in the back correct? And the insert style shocks go in the front using the existing mount?

No ones done suspension work before?? Are we ALL power obsessed!?

Yeah, I have, but it was a while ago. Swapped sportlines and gabs onto then off of my old gst. Used washers and longer bolts as my rear camber kit.

I'm not sure I follow. Is a part number stamped on your springs? What kind are they? There were part numbers on my sportlines that I used to figure out which one went where. I would guess that if a spring is "fatter," then it's a higher spring rate, and it would belong in the front. But that's just a wag.

And the insert style shocks go in the front using the existing mount?

Yup, there is a nice vfaq on it. Fairly straight forward.

ah ha so they're backwards in the picture? I swap them around before I install them lol. Hopefully during the week while the head is getting rebuild AGAIN! I'll post some pics and maybe a review if I'm not busy raving about my cams hehehehe
