custom longer coilsprings for 2012 outlander - advice pls
hi,
i figure its prob better to ask in the TECH area, instead of the general outie forum. i would like to lift my awd gt about 2 in or so.
what do u guys think about getting longercoil springs?
as supposed to just buying those cheap polyurethane spacers
(like daystar, mr gasket, etc)
pros vs cons?
obviously the springs have to be custom made (currently working with mike @ coilsprings.com about this).
will i need to upgrade to longer shocks as well?
the spring stiffness/softness can be adjusted to what i want, so ride comfort shouldn't be an issue... i hope.
what about installation?
front - is it basically just removing the strut assembly / take outstock spring / replace with custom spring / screw assembly back in?
rear - since the coil is separate from the shock, can i just jack up the rear / use compressor to remove stock coil / put new (compressed) one in / decompress / lower rear end back to ground?
--------------------
THANK YOU ALL FOR ANY ADVICE / OPINIONS = )
