    2/5 drop for 2011? Coil relocator?

    Hey guys this is the first 2/5 kit ive found for nnbs (2/5 is what i want!)
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/mcgaughys-ch...item3cbbc39de8

    My only concern is with the front coil locator, im not exactly sure how it lowers the front, and if it will ride like poo.
    Any opinions on it??

    Plenty of people have been using them without any issues. It's just a spring perch (thing that the bottom of the coil sits on) that replaces the factory one. If used with no spacers it provides 2" of drop and it comes with 2 spacers that you can stack on the relocator to go up to 1" of drop. They shouldn't affect ride quality at all.

    For that kind of money, I'd just go 4/7 IMO.

    4/7 on a NNBS isn't really that much drop. Well it is, it's just not right slammed. Don't even need to run a notch.

    Yup. McG 4/7 kit with spindles, coil relocators, and a flip kit is only like $600 shipped on timssuspensiononline.com, he's a very reputable vendor on the "other" site.

    IMO the right way(in the front) is to use a drop spindle, because you dont need to deal with the spring on the strut and it keeps factory geometry. I also have a NIB flip kit im trying to get rid of. It was purchased for my 2004, I dont know if they are different.

    Also, if you're really set on going 2/5, there's a Ground Force kit for sale on GMFS right now for $350. Their kit uses coils and leafs and shocks for the rear.
