Relentless Autosports Coilover package...

Kirkster

Thanks for the explanations Scott.

I Did the install last night. All I have to say is REALLY. No REALLY. Did they REALLY have to tighten that 19mm nut to 8 bazillion foot pounds of torque??? The drivers side came off with not much of an issue but the passenger side was a different story all together. I did not have a 1/2" 19mm so I was using the 1/2" to 3/8' adaptor. So I twisted off the head of the first adaptor and cursed a bit before I got out the second adaptor... After I got back from Sears with two new adaptors and a 19mm 1/2 inch socket the REALLY nut yielded to my 4 foot breaker bar...

Total install time minus the trip to Sears was 6 hours and 4 minutes.

With the way I initially set up the coilovers I ended up with a 1/4 inch drop after a drive to initially settle the suspension.

I decided that I wanted a bit more drop so in the morning I got started again. One tool that I found invaluable in adjusting the front shocks was a strap wrench. Without that I would have ended up taking the shock back out of the car, with the strap wrench it was a 15 minute job from the time that the tire came off to the time I finished torquing the last nut...

Total time for the full drop was an hour and 30 minutes including fumbling around time.

I will post up a review once it stops raining here, but I did get a chance to give it the boot up to around 60% before I started sliding a bit more that I wanted to given the wet cold conditions.

Initial review: 35° and drizzling:

The car feels firmer without being jarring. As far as I can tell the skittishness that was present in the stock suspension in curves completely gone. It feels even more planted than stock So far it is money very well spent on Scott's suspension setup for my Roadster.
