I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but I thought I'd ask... just in case I've missed something. Plus, I thought I'd make a worthwhile post for my 4000th, instead of the usual "looks great", "welcome", etc.! :mrgreen:

While my current stock shocks are still "okay", I'm not totally happy with their performance and would love to find an option for adjustable dampening shocks that would work on a lowered AWD. The only option I've seen so far would be a set of KW V2's. But, can you buy them without the springs? Since I have air bags, I would hate to waste the extra money on springs that I don't need.

So... does anyone know of anything available, or in the works???

Well first off.............................Congrats on 4K!!!!!!:banana: :banana: :banana:



The other, thats a damn good question. Have you asked your suspension supplier what they would recommend. The stockers don't cut-it and I'm not certain if the Eibachs would last either. There is plenty of hotrod stuff out there for bagged rides. Good luck, I ain't got no fricking clue.

What about the new ST coilovers that HHP is offering? At least you'd be spending much less than a set of V1's, and then there are the Eibach dampers. Those have no springs and are about $600. Like Cam I am totally clueless as to whether they are the right solution for you, but its somewhere to start?

I saw the post on those. My assumption is that they are RWD only though (no mention of AWD). Guess I could shoot a PM to Jason to find out if they fit an AWD.
