Hey Cyan, the Ricky Racer coil overs I've got are working fine. Looks good, rides good. I think its a bit over 1.5 inches down right now....maybe 1.75. Never really measured it. But that is at the maximum height for these coil overs. If I spun the adjustment sleeves on the coil over I might be able to put them a bit higher. As far as the shocks are concerned there was no grinding needed. I've got the non adjustable KYB GR2's. I think the coil overs are selling for about 150 and I got the shocks from NOPI for like 225 or something. Lots less than the 600 Ricky Racer wants for the complete setup. I also trust the KYB's more than some no name shock. Plus this setup rides extremely well. I was expeting a horrible ride but its surprisingly smooth.
