Default max is right . . . spring is higher rate and shorter, as is the dampener . . .
1.8's push like a pig with S4 "shocks"

It's easy to get a good handling 18

S4 damps is not the way

Default And ... yes ... I can help do your suspension
But you'll need to pay for parts : certain bolts &amp; nuts are highly torqued, use once only, must be replaced

Default How does one know if your concrete pad is thick enough and rated at a minimum of
3,000 p.s.i. ?

My house is from 1947 and I seriously doubt it would be safe to install the anchors in concrete in my garage. Still, I'm curious to know how it works for you.


How much for the complete kit ?
