Thanks for the kind words!

On the Stage2v2 Kits, we are waiting on line fittings to arrive back in stock. If the kit is ordered during the holiday sale (backorder or not), the sale pricing will be honored. If paid via credit card directly, billing information is not processed until the order is ready to ship.

I appreciate the benefit of the adjustability this kit offers. How much would this improve a TS with stock suspension? How much better will it corner and how much harder will the ride feel?

I'd say the improvement from the stock suspension should be quite noticable. Cornering will be much tighter and it should remove some of the factory understeer.

You should be able to dial the ride comfort in to your liking with the adjustable dampening. Typically with the dampening set to soft, the car will ride much like a cup kit... firm, but not stiff. With the dampening set to full hard, the ride should be fairly firm. I often find having the dampening in the front slightly harder than the rear produces the best results.

hey jon, how low could these go?

just wondering, i have the perches out in the back on my v-maxx and the helpers out in the front and still can't get low enough to pull off my wheels.

of course, this is where you tell me to go to air ride.

FK's in general are known to go quite low, most often times, lower than the advertised specs. I'd say as far as coils go, you won't find something that will go any lower. The next step of course would be air

Excellent, thanks again for the order! These sold out quick at this pricing, so I'm glad you were able to get a set.

Had the kit installed 2 months ago but found the ride a bit to stiff. Montreal roads look like war zone.

Is dampering adjustment #1 stiffer or is it level 6? What adjustment would be best to have the dampering close to original by keeping the small lowering adjustment I did?

Thanks.

I've driven in Montreal and yes, the roads up there are quite bad in some spots.

Full soft on the Sport Edition Plus kits is 1 and 6 is full stiff. I'd try taking them to full soft and see if that helps things a bit, then dial them up slightly if needed. I typically find that full soft in the rear and just a turn or two up in the front rides fairly comfortable. That being said, they are coilovers and have stiffer spring rates than the stock springs, so the ride will be firmer than the stock setup.

Thanks Jon I will try the suggested set up and see if Mrs. will like it more

As far the roads in Quebec you are joking by saying some roads are quite bad I would more say most of our roads are in bad shape...
