![]() ![]() (Front) Remove brake line, remove abs line.Remove old suspension via 3 upper bolts and 2 lower bolts.Jack up car on all 4 corners and set down on jack stands.My install was pretty straight forward, and I’ll outline what I did next. If you are looking for very improved handling while reducing the ride quality the minimum amount needed to get that done, I think these are a good choice.They come set at 0 preload, so you will need to set the lower mount height, install them, then set the pre-load as outlined in Flatout’s technical documents. I'd be somewhat curious how the more performance-oriented ones would feel, but at the same time I don't know if I'd want any harsher of a ride really and the performance of the SR is already everything I feel like I want. The SR is I think their most daily driver oriented coilover. Turning performance on windy highways and backroads is also amazing but I think that was to be expected since it's not like it was that bad originally. As far as the stiffness and taking bumps as I mentioned I do feel it more, but also there's no residual bouncing or anything like that, we just stay locked in. I realize that's not the case, but that's how it turns out in reality. It pretty much feels like no other cars can take the turns at the same speed as us. We are just locked in on the turns and the body roll is less ofc, so we just kind of go around them easily. I'd say it adds about 10mph to our comfortable cruising speed easily. Performance wise I honestly don't feel like I could have asked for anything more. I can't imagine what 20 clicks would be like, I've never been brave enough to try it. Also in winter the bigger sidewalls and lower psi on my winter wheels does take the edge off to some extent. The benefits far outweigh the added bumpyness. It's not something I consider to be a problem or an issue really. It's not terrible by any means and I'm totally used to it now, but we do get bounced around a bit when the freeway is rough. I started out with it at 10/20 clicks, but i worked my way down and now I use 0 clicks or 1 click. So first things first, they are coilovers so obviously things are a bit more.bumpy than with the stock suspension. I told myself I would have them adjusted lower this summer just to see how it would be, but I never did. I know the usual around here is to adjust upward from stock, but I have to get to and from the mountains and I prefer to do that fairly quickly so this made more sense for me, especially since I could do it without losing any of the original ground clearance. By default, you go down 0.5" and then it adjusts downward from there. Mine are made by special request to go up to stock ride height, which is where they are set. I suppose if you didn't want to make the hole you'd have to leave that little panel section off or something. You can't normally see the hole or the knobs under my rubber cover, but I lifted it up for the picture. The adjuster knobs in the back didnt quite fit under the trim panels so I dremeled a hole for them. No offroad besides that to speak of except maybe the occasional fire road to a trailhead. I drive mostly on freeway but then also have to deal with snow in Tahoe in the winter. I use the stock wheels and tires in summer, and MR502s in winter. I have just about every Subispeed mod imaginable, but the SRs are the only real "performance" modification in terms of the drive train and handling besides my STI spoiler. ![]() I got the Flatout SRs about a year ago from u/FlatoutSuspensionInc mainly to improve freeway and highway performance. ![]()
