Any how, I got a set of MDU coils for sell. Its the orange ones with the 10k front & 7k rear springs.

Only used them less than 5,000 miles. I got replacement MDU rear shocks which are new and never used. LMK if you want to grab your hands on them. Im located in Dallas TX.
How did your rears fail? Bottom out, sounds etc? Thanks

Yes but depending on how low you are going and cant get the front camber in spec you would need a front camber kit aswell. But a rear is a must and an alignment after everything is settled.

Thank you i thought i could get by without one with coils if i didn't go to low. I was hoping like 2.5 maybe 3 in front. Would that be to far out of spec?

Over or at 2 inches in the rear you'll need a camber kit.

You are going to need camber kits all around bro. Without them, your tires are going to run out unevenly.

Any drop is going to need camber kits. If you dont have any, then you are just going to run inner tire wear.

Fronts will be fine...you do any searching you'll see that most guys don't run front kits. The rears you gotta have

I have no idea how they failed. I just knew when I drove, the ride was squishy and not comfortable and bouncy. I heard a lot of squishy noises from the shocks too. Took them off the car and I tested it to see if they were still good.

I set the dampening to max soft, and the compressed the shock. It was suppose to rebound upwards but it didnt even do that. I had my BC coils next to me and I set it to max soft and it rebound upwards strongly.

Reason how I knew shocks were out. The only time its suppose to not come up is when you have it on max stiff. But even still its suppose to come up but very slowly.

Yeah but if i'm doping 2.5 to 3 in the front, my tires are done in no time. i actually just got a good deal on some Front camber arms. I'm sure that would be enough to take care of it.
