    Looks great!

    Maybe take your front springs out and cut a half coil off with a grinder/cut off wheel will give you the other inch.

    Yeah, especially if you take uneven measurements with uneven eyes! LOL.

    It's preferable to take a full coil off so that everything sits right back into the same slots and positions as they were when stock, but it's pretty easy to see where a half is and do the same measurement and cut to each spring.

    Then again, you could also spend a bit more money and just buy shorter springs.

    You should find a good deal near Daytona or Orlando area. Better make sure to check with a supplier there first to make they have them in stock as most times they have to order them and it could take a couple weeks which by then you may be traveling back home. (Ask me how I know this routine!)

    Once you make your hotel reservations ask them if you can have something shipped there and held under your name. Then hook up with Mike at MADEnterprises on here and see if he can get you a deal. He'll know the correct ride height you need with what parts you have installed already.

    Good luck and enjoy Daytona. Maybe Merlin will be going on his bikes too?

    Ah man, great find!
    You'll absolutely love the sound. My buddy has Dynatechs on his Lightning and it sounds so bad a$$.

    It's already Friday evening after work over there.
    Hurry up, already. They're not on yet!?

    Hey John, I used to have a Mulholland suspension kit on my '71 Datsun 510. The BRE cars came with it. Any relations?

    Seams to be just like before ! As has same springs and shocks , but want to go 1" more on front so going to have to change the springs ! I like Eibach spring as I have them in my car but not sure what them like in a truck or how much of a drop they would gave me ? Maybe fit new shocks all round but not sure what type !
