AST Springs Install with measurements

Hello Everyone,

I just installed the AST springs I got from Kies Motorsports and they look great. Install video is below. I measured before and after and they lower a lot more than the 30/10 on the box.

Video was great, man! I'm pretty much set on these and was already in the process of buying from Kies... only thing I didn't see in your video was your impressions on the ride, other than no rubbing with passengers. How is the ride so far?

I am doing that video today. I did also confirm that the rubbing noise I heard was the mud-flaps rubbing over the speed bump.

Awesome, looking forward to it! Ah OK and you're talking about your TLG mudflaps, right?

How's the ride quality compared to stock?

I'm OK with more stiffness, but I absolutely do not want more cushy-ness/softness. Please let me know haha I have these scheduled for install next weekend.

The g80's stock suspension feels more cushion-y and softer over bumps than the f80's did. Makes for more luxury I guess but I wish it wasn't like this.
