    Sorry I have no experience with these, and it seems not many others have either.
    It didnt come with any instructions? I would have to sit and play around with them a bit before I decided how they worked.

    ur in luck, i had the same sorta thing on my dc4 and alot of my friends have rolled on them, imo theyre better than simply buyin say king springs or watever. if u got them for free then i say why not, me and a few of my friends rolled on them for 2yrs + and the shocks were fine.

    installing them is pretty much the same as with any spring change, just remove the strut, take it apart, u'll have a bag of rubber rings, lay them out on ur shock (have an even amount on each shock) to cover the area that the coilover sleeve will sit around. then just slide the coilover sleeve down as far as it will go on the shock, make sure the sleeve is sitting nice and snug on the strut. obviously the locking perches will be sittin at the bottom. next just sit the spring on the locking perches and put the black top hat on. put the bumpstops back on the shock then reassemble the strut and chuck them back the car.

    not sure if that all made sense coz im just blabbing on but just let me know if u need a more detailed explanation.

    cheers

    not exactly true, the life of ur stock shock is relevant to how low of a drop + the spring stiffness. me n my buddies rode on these for over 2yrs and none of us blew our shocks out.

    wow thanks for that dc4 that should be awesome.
    That should be enough but to be on the safe side lol do you think you'd be able to PM me with a more detailed explanation. And pics to if you happen to have any. Even just of them sitting on the strut so i know how they should turn out.
    thanks
