Thanks Jim,

I was on a budget to keep the cost down. The adjustable coil over springs looks like the way to go. I’m going to make the best with what
I have. Here is the new stance.

Thanks, Ed

I like it, Eddie.

Jim's right. The shorter spring looks to be stiffer gauge. Unloaded height doesn't mean anything unless gauge is the same.
I'm all for soft ride. My back thanks me for it.

Aloha Joe,

I want a softer ride also and the stance look about right where I want it. The convertible spring is a great diameter spring but very short. I didn’t feel good about installing that spring into position without compressing the spring at all! I felt that it might move while moving through it range. I had to compress my OEM springs a lot and it settled in good. I feel more comfortable and confident of my front end with the OEM springs. Thanks guys for all your input! I’m so blessed to see all your beautiful comets. I wish I could be with you guys on a cruise.

Mahalo Nui Loa, Eddie
