your thoughts on superior drop shackles

Post by TOY-08V »

hey guys, im looking into some superior drop shackles for the back of my lux, just wondered if anyone is running them and what are your thoughts on them, how much of an improvement did they make to flex, etc.

thanks DAN.

All drop shackels are Poo :armsup:

Hmmm Axel Wrap, Unforced Articulation, and a flexed corner of the car that wont take weight till the shackle has folded back up again :?

Mmmm Stable


Mock :D

Was at an rti (ramp travel index) and a guy had some on his suzuki and they wouldnt drop when he wanted them to unless he smashed them with a hammer! After that don't think i'll get them.
