im interested in your spring choice but i checked summit and there are only 2.5x14" 165lb or 185lb? no 175lb.

how much do they compress with the weight of the zuk?

looking great by the way

They are 165s, thats my bad. They are for 2" coilovers so 2 1/4 id X 2 1/2 od. Right now the rear only compressed about an inch, but after the cage, fuel cell, and a couple other small things it should come dow a couple more inches. I havent set the front down yet.

The kids are 4, 5, and 6. I planned on just dropping them off in an open field in low 1st gear and let them drive it around while I ride or watch. Its how I learned how to drive, but mine was a heep. lol

Great idea, but I am not paying that kind of money to loose a couple inches. I have something else in mind that is way cheaper, and I am already running 42" tires.
