Ok. I have some Silkroads on the stagea
The problem is i cant go any lower without sagging the spring *MORE* than it is.
I need a shorter shock in the front
Is there a way to order shorter shock cartridges?
before i go buy some new coilovers

you can always load a shorter cartridge in there, but you'd generally want to have the manufacturer do that... I know a couple good suspension shops here in socal that have done rebuilt/different shocks in race bikes and such, I'd imagine you could get a premier suspension shop over there to do it too. Problem is, it'd probably be more expensive than ditchin the RM-A8's you've got and gettin some new coilovers.

That may be a good question for Silkroad.

but hte problem is, i dont know for sure if a new set would go as low as i need.
i dont mind paying to have the fronts redone, i just need it to be able to be lower.

but im not paying ANYONE in japan to do anything. it would cost more than the car just for a shity paint job
