Well it's Thursday. Any word on your feelings concerning the H-sport and FSD's? I would be doing the same if I purchased them over the Yellow's.

Let us know, I'm looking to buy a set of either in the next week or two.

Koni FSD in stock..and ordered.

I ordered a set of these today from www.shox.com - I tried four other places earlier in the day and they were telling me June before they get them.

$630.00 shipped, some still in stock he said (Daryl) - fyi.

How long / how much should I be charged to install - estimate???

I have pads, rotors and lines to do at the same time...

>> I have only been able to test them out a little bit due to the snow we have been getting here in Utah. Park City UT has picked up about 8" to 10" just today.

>> So far all is working fine with no problems. I will keep letting you all know after I have put more miles on them. I will say that the corning affect with these FSD's is great and a noticable difference in ride comfort.

Great! Looking forward to hearing more! I also think my H-Sports lowered the car no more than 1".

Hopefully the weather will get better for you soon!

>> The H-Sport Springs do not lower the car any more that 1". If you go to the H-Sport webbsite they tell you exactly what the Spring Set does and how much it lowers the car and why they did not go any lower.
