Just have a quick question...How hard is it to adjust the rear sturts. I know the front are cake because your able to get it to without a problem. Are the rears the same or do you have to figgit with it to get it adjusted..

Also what are some of you guys running it on. Full stiff or in the middle. were do you find it to be the best of both worlds.

Do you really notice a differnce when set to soft and when set to stiff...

I will have mine on this saturday so im just looking for some feedback. thanks

the rear is just as easy to adjust as the front, just move the carpet so you can see the top of the strut, put on the knob and turn.

for just driving around town i leave it at full soft, but full stiff is where all the fun is. in the middle is the best of both worlds .

yes you notice the diference, on full soft its a smooth stock-like ride, while on full stiff it's bouncy(on pregessive rate springs, coil over may be diferent i don't know) but not too bad.

I cut my rear knob down..... Makes it a helluva lot easier to get to. You will notice that the knob has a nice 1/2" lip going all around. I carefully hacksawed off about 3/8 of an inch to make it accessible!

I run mine on full soft.

bouncy was the wrong word to use....it's solid.

also- i have no problems fitting the adjusting knob on and turning it wothout any cutting.

i ride full soft and the ride if anything is better than it was stock, haven't tried moving it anywhere else though, nor tried adjusting the rears, i hope it is as easy as you guys say.
