Took about 1.5 months for the new set of locking collars to come due to the old ones being beaten. It was a pita to get those collars removed but i somehow managed to removed them with bad conditioned locking rings

I got the amr coilovers from Raul@6GA. MAybe he'll chime in with what the rates are. As far as i know its really stiff relative to stock -_-

Here is the car after the drop

I dont know how the measurements goes but i measured from the ground to the lip of the fender

25 6/8" by 26 2/8"

Also, i'd like to know what your measurements are from ground to the lip of the fender <3

sweet truck, ever take it off roading? why invest in coilovers if you didnt lower it much, you could of just gone with lowering springs for a drop and saved your ride quality :squintwave:

At least 1'' lower in front, and 2'' lower for rear. With that you might achieve Tein SS coils maxed out look, which is my sig.

You can go lower on Amrs even if you drive with two other people with you. It's whatever you want but it would look better if it was at least at 24" in the back and 24 1/2" in the front. Kind of looks boatish. Congrats though on the purchase.

The drop is subtle, it looks fine if that’s the height you were going for. But as others said I would have just gone with a shock/spring combo for your needs. How much do your typical passengers weigh lol? I think you could go a little lower, a little bit goes a long way.

I am at 24.5 F / 24.75 R, pics in the last page or two of my MR thread.
