Yeah I thought it might be the rear nut under the damper **** so ill try o see if those are tight too..thanks guys and ill update if anything chancges or not...and from what I've been seeing true setup is the only way to go with these..but toro is still running oem with no issues...and my only issue is the rear stiffness..

Yeh, still OEM with no looseness for 2k miles. I know these pirates now. I'll rebuild to True next month. I'm I no hurry because the ride is gorgeous as my wife has said. Haha

Switched to true coil-over set-up in the rear today. I haven't had a chance to go very far yet, but it feels firmer in the rear (not as soft and spongy). I left the shock setting at 9/18. I will be out and about tomorrow and will provide more feedback.

Oh dam



So i wont be able to give a full review because i cant install these till i get a new impact wrench on Saturday but i can still give a brief overview. The welds look pretty good and the color is a nice metallic red. I already converted these into true coilover setup for the rear so i wont have any noises down the road/ issues. The build quality is excellent for the price. Overall preinstall im pretty excited and ill keep this updated later.

So far we get a pirate
