Can it go a little bit lower in the rear with that setup?

you can remove the threaded collar and get probs another ~1/4" or find a way to use the factory perch and get ~1/2". I will probably run the killen springs I have now and use the new shocks with them.

OK. I can officially take orders now. I don't have the ordering system on our website live yet. So feel free to e-mail me @ Justus@JJfab.net or PM me here.

The Final price is $599 USD shipped to you (cont US).

The typical disclamer applies, these are for Off-Road use only since they don't carry the DOT approval. They do however carry the TUV approval. The ride height may vary by model and is in no way guranteed.

Same with the AWD... if you don't actually own one, or never have, or plan to do so, then shut your pie hole.

LOL my wagon sits just as low, just as stiff, and is adjustable and only cost $20. unfortunatly last time I posted how I lowered it (not cut, and not torched) I had to use burn cream for a month for all the flames I caught.

:lol: are you really trying to compare your clamped springs to set of coilovers? The only thing adjustable about clamps is when they break and your car goes back up to stock height - most likely while your driving.

exactly what I was talking about,

and FYI the same set of clamps have been on my cars for over 10 years and have yet to give me any issues. people who have them fall off arn't installing them correctly. And my Clamps offer adjustment of up to 2.5" Per clamp.

I do know that my clamps are not the same as coil overs, and did NOT at any time say it was the same. all I said was that I was just as low and looked to be just as stiff. I know the spring rates will be different and all that as well as the shocks. But once again I spend 3 months avoiding Volvo speed because people are D-bags on here. I decide to make 1 post, and even admitted on the post that people jumped down my throat about it and still someone cant help but make a smart ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD comment.

He already said this will be an ongoing thing.

Then why did you make the comment? It served absolutely no purpose.

But we're not going to clutter up Justus' thread.

My Point was and I'll admit that I should have probably been a little more specific... is that the coil overs look as stiff as my clamped springs... meaning the ride looks like its going to be bouncy as hell. Great for track and corners but poor for DD. I'm sure higher up they get more movement in them as they are designed for that.

Yes, my custom set up has another inch of adjustment left.

I will see if I can work out the last details today.
Mind posting links to the parts you used?

meh, don't get so worked up over some ppl on the internet. you like it rock it

that being said you're not increasing any stiffness, unless you have progressive springs which the stock ones aren't.

I'm guessing no. Gabe and I will both be installing these in the springtime if his plans haven't changed. I live about an hour from JJFab so I will not need shipping and I'll probably install them right when I buy them.

Yeah, I should be picking mine up soon along with the fix for the rear. Not sure when they're going on though, they may go on sooner rather than later because I can't stand being able to see the tops of my tires.
