Combine these with a good taller shock and subtle solutions lift spacers and youd have a cheapy "baja" look

now you can make it expensive with method 16s and some to2 tires

I'm doing this with the b6 bilstein, RCE lift springs currently in development, and the 1" subtle aluminum lift kit with 1.5" rear alignment. I'm set on 215/65/16 a/t on either 16x7+30 method mr502 or 16x7+35 sparco terra.

Are people interested in these?

There's 5 sets in stock, I am trying to help the importer sell them.

If there's enough interest I'll set up a vendor account to sell them.

Alex

Edit: price would be under $400 shipped in CONTUS.

Has anybody done a long term DD road test on them? The idea sounds interesting. A set of these on a set of B6s could be the answer to a question I, perhaps I alone, have been asking for a while. Bueller?

If my 401K weren't running on fumes, I'd buy a set just to play with. I may anyway. Consider me a possible.

Do you know what the free length is?

If stuff goes extremely to the left with all this COVID19 stuff, these puppies might be a good choice if you don't have an SUV to drive. Those ridiculous Zombie-Apocalypse themed SUV builds dont seem so ridiculous now, do they?

There's one pair floating out there, the person who installed it is referenced in this thread.

I don't know free length but can get some measurements for you later if you're serious. But due to restrictions in LA County, I won't make a trip to measure it unless these are something you're seriously interested in.

Please don't go out on my account. It sounds like something I "might" be interested in, but I'd really like to hear some first hand accounts of how they work.

It seems the rates are quite similar to the OEM springs. So, if they're longer, the effect would be like adding preload to the stock springs. The result being a reduction is the static spring sag. That might be something I'd be interested in, but I'm not sure.

thanks for the offer, though.

The rates are indeed close to stock, so what you're speculating is probably the case.

I have some other stuff I need to get, probably next week or so, I'll measure the springs when I get an opportunity to do so.

I'll have a vendor account set up later this month, along with purchase link + price. Will do it in one shot since I'm trying to sell several items at one time.

I was able to get around to measuring them.

Front - 12 3/8" free length
Rear - 11 1/8" free length
