Swapping on the new 8125 coilovers. Pretty excited about these...1" shorter eye to eye measurement at full compression, so I can drop the ride height a little bit and keep the same amount of bump travel (Once I shorten the bump pads on the radius arms...more about that later).
Yes, I know the coil springs are opposite in direction. For some strange reason Hypercoil winds their heavier rate springs one way, and their lighter weight springs the opposite direction. Go figure.

Got it all back together last night, but it needs way more preload than I thought (only put .5" on it to start). I forgot that losing 2" of spring length would also affect ride height quite a bit. Gonna crank the preload another inch or so tonight and see how that goes with the ride height. Or just slap a Kibbe sticker on it and call it good...lol.
