  1. Thanks for the encouragement. Funny part is I was at home depot today for some other stuff and completely forgot to grab a pipe cutter *facepalm*. Coulda got started this evening.
  2. Actually my Koni's came in yesterday as well, and picked up the LGT struts last night from a local guy, so I've got all the gear to get started. Just want to find some yellow spray paint that closely matches the Koni yellow to pain the strut bodies. Actually really excited to get this project started.
  3. So I've tracked down a set of blown front LGT struts for the Koni treatment (also using Koni's in the rear, of course), and I'm going to use them with my stock Spec B springs, and stock LGT tophats. It'll be a longer project, but has anybody tried this combo before and can give me any insight as to the ride I might be able to expect, depending of course on how the Koni's are setup?
  4. Not sure I follow...if the front drop on the springs is 1" on the LGT, wouldn't you need to add that drop to whatever the drop on the mounts alone are? I've seen everything from 3/8 to 5/8 on the top hat switch. If it's in fact 5/8 (or even, splitting the difference, 1/2") I'd be happy with that front drop, as that would even up the wheel gaps nicely and keep the nice ride the stock springs have. Because I'm mostly leaning towards the stock springs, the Bilsteins would be WAY overdamped. While they'd probably be fine on the Epics, I'm still not sure I want to go that route. If, after going to the Koni's on stock springs, I want to go lower after the fact, I have that option on the koni's, or the option to send my Bilstein take-offs away for a rebuild and have them optimized for the Epic spring rates, which I think would ride better than the HD's. Thanks for the input! Much appreciated.
  5. I had a thread going on my search for new struts for my 07 SpecB (clunking left front). I've decided on Koni's all around with LGT mounts in the front. I'm planning to keep the stock SpecB springs. From my understanding, this will give me a 3/8" drop in the front. Questions: 1. Does anybody have a pic of this setup? 2. Does anybody have any idea on how this might ride with the Koni's at or near full soft? A bit firmer doesn't bother me, but solid suspension does. I was pondering Epic springs, but going down a full 1-3/8" (spring plus LGT mount) is more than I want to go.
