Chris: yes on the custom spring rates; let's wait until I've met at least 5 orders ready to go (my minimum to offer these discounts) before I gather your requirements.

Ducman82, the rear mounts are a proprietary design & trying not to let the cat out of the bag until people have them on their car. I'm also having my Engineers study recreating the mounts in aluminum for a cleaner application (my opinion) & slight weight savings (maybe 1-2lb). In a nutshell, it's a twin-tab, cantilevered design off the rear suspension pin, where the ensemble is keyed to the rear control arm. Geometry remains as it was designed for the most part, except the lower shock mount is on a bearing to keep the rear shock floating & without any preload as the factory system could be loaded since the lower angle of the shock mount was fixed. Shock was selected for this application where the piston stop was centered in the housing with the car at near-stock ride height, giving you plenty of suspension range both above and below the stop.

Thanks! Mark.
