Stop on by sometime if you would want to take a look. Hope this helps. Doesn't seem to make a difference wether it is FX3 or non FX3. Just saw the weather, snows coming, I am off to grinding.
It seems it might make a difference if using FX3 or not because of the top of the shock? Looking at this coilover set up there was no drilling, grinding or modification to the frame at all in the rear.

Here are some notes from Randy at DRM about the install and what is required for their kit:

I even like this set up how the bottom mount is, but I'm clueless right now about this install and just following along as well as seeing what all the other C4 coilovers look like. I also saw another one that does not modify the front swaybar location and just used the Exotic Muscle helm joint link,; but the coil spring did not look as wide as the DRM coil and no FX3 either.
