I just got the road magnet lowerspring installed

just post some pictures for u guys


But don't feel good with this. I will get the MS coilover and sell the lower spring, if anyone is interesting, PM me

Looks lower than that other MS3 running the proto Road Magnet springs, but looks good regardless.

How does she handle? Any bounciness?

I had my RM springs installed a couple of weeks ago. Just curious what you dislike about them?

I have the road magnet springs too.. both my rear shocks are blown, and the ride is soo harsh. yeah its lower but at this cost its not worth it. That being said I'll probably keep them, but I'll be putting on Koni yellows as dampers. Hopefully that will help the situation. Road Magnet really should have realized with that aggressive of a drop the stock shocks were not going to be happy for long..
Road magnet+stock dampers=FTL!

Looks good

You blew your rear shocks? How can you tell? I have noticed when going over speed bumps very slowly the front and rear squeak pretty badly, and was told that is due to the coils touching on compression, but other than that it seems fine. I've only had them on for 2 weeks.

I can tell because I came out to the garage one morning and all the shock fluid had leaked out all over the floor....

 

[Captain GJ]

Haha, damn. How long did you have them on before it blew?

 

[Refonbass]

a few weeks...

wow guys, im surprised you are having such difficulty with your struts... GJ told me about this thread, but damn, you blew them so badly the fluid leaked out!? I was the test bed for roadmagnet and have had them on for at least 3 months now. The ride is a little rougher, but it has not blown out my shocks...where were they installed? Sounds to me like something may have gone wrong in the installation for the struts to fail that quickly.

 

[Refonbass]

installed by a mechanic who specializes in suspension.. definitely not the install..

IF you want to stay with the stock strut MS springs are the one to buy. They are made to work with our stock shock/strut(small drop though). Those springs look like a hefty drop. Changing the geometry of the suspention that much will always shorten the life of the stock strut/shock (IMO). This is why I went with a coilover set up since you will have to buy all the components any way, and the spring is designed to work with the shock.
