I can't remember the ins and outs of RRRUF but can tell you es1000s are softest.

do i need to make relocation brackets for the rear springs? or will extended shackles work for them?

im guessing the rear springs that will go on the front just bolt into the chassis mount as normal and just move the shackle mount?

and rascal rears just bolt in on extended shackles?

what pro comp shocks are softest?

ES1000

ES3000

ES9000

thanks...

I use KYB Pro Comp's....way better (lol)

We're taking the piss. Alex bought a set of cheap KYB and painted them white then stuck some other branded stickers on.

These are KYB Pro Comps...snigger

Easy to do, work much better than Pro's and cost about a 1/4 less.
