    5100 ride quality.. can it be better?

    The superflex coils are 10% stiffer not sure they are going to help, as i posted in the other thread I am running them with 5100s and its rough in the back without extra weight for daily driving. Now smacking curbs or similar sized bumps at speed are definatly soaked up nicely.

    The "loaded down" ride...

    I have the super flex coils and 5100s and jostle over bumps worse than stock with no weight in the back, so i dont think that is going to fix things for you. Adding weight in the back does make a huge difference though, just did a 2k mi trip with a fully loaded rear and it was much better than...

    KDSS lift advice

    Looking back i should have just done coilovers myself, i ended up needing ucas with the 5100 at max, also would like some softer springs in the rear for a the 99% of the time when i dont have extra weight, it really all depends on how much you want to spend and what you want to do, for me ill...

    KDSS lift advice

    Just install what ya got but set the fronts at the 2.5 and you get what you get on the rear, prolly around 1.5 and you will be close to level, maybe a bit of rake still. I did 5100 @2.5 with a 1/4 spacer and 2" springs and still got rake, you should be closer to level if that what yr after with...

    what an unbelievable difference! - kappa 3.5 dash speakers

    I know but it wasnt enough, they were popping like crazy, i left the ones on the speaker that came with em, then added some from BB the 300mhz ones, no more popping and can max it out, i think the blockers On the speaker may only be ran to the tweeter portion. I dont know thought not good at...

    what an unbelievable difference! - kappa 3.5 dash speakers

    I noticed this also just finished up installing the jbl gx302s, maybe lower ohm dash replacements help keep the volume up by taking more of the watts than the doors instead of splitting it evenly. Anyways Im happy with the outcome, would recomend the jbls for 50$ its worth it for sure, needed...

    Mount Chop Mod Necessary?

    Alot depends on rim backspace and how much further it pushes the out. Stock suspension and wheels on my trail i rode KOs for 60mi with no rub in the back Of the tire at all with mudflaps, just pushed the front liner forward. Added 5100s at top ring and 1/4" spacer and spc ucas, no rub, added...

    6th Generation and engine options

    Voted for the 4.6, but I would prefer it tuned somewhere between the ls and gx variants. Wife has an ls460 f sport and the torque curve sucks imo, it doesnt have the v8 feeling I desire down low. Now wind it out and it rewards you up top pulling awsome to redline, not exactly how id want a...

    Front suspension issues, frustrations and disappointment

    May look at replacing shocks/struts to fix the shaking from 60-65mph, 5100s fixed this on mine, the stockers were done around 50k mi

    What offroading limitations do street tires bring?

    I play in sand mostly so going from stock to KOs in a larger size was not a huge difference in traction, but i did have 3 flats in the first month on stocks and zero in almost 5 years on e rated KOs. Was definatly worth the upgrade.

    Steering wheel vibration Poll

    I had a similar shake as above at 60-65 mph, it had developed as my bfg KOs wore down and cupped, stock struts also ruined prolly at about 50k mi, maybe to many wash board roads or the heavier tires. Intalled 5100s all around with new toytec rear springs and wobble almost disappeared...
