I had removed the front spring once before to install the poly shims that are available through Mid America/ Ecklers along with the lowering bolts. The poor mans suspension adjustment setup. When I removed the front spring this time, I had found that the poly lowering wedges were absolutely destroyed. There was nothing left. That is after about 1500 miles of pretty easy driving. So in other words, that stuff is JUNK. The coilovers are on and this morning spent some time adjust the front ride height. Getting close. I'm burnt out now so the rear will have to wait for a day or two. The service ride control light is now on so I will also have to look into that. When I am finished, I plan on putting together some do'd and don'ts for the this coilover install and hopefully it will make anyone who wants to do this conversion aware of certain issues that can be avoided for an easier install. Thanks for everyones help on the forum who responded to my many questions. Pictures will follow one day.

Good to hearing things are heading in a positive direction. I'm glad I never tried to install the wedge/bolts to lower.

What are your and the group's thought about non FX3 if going coilovers and just get rid of the FX3?

I don't know if any installation benefit or just avoiding future problems and cost.

Thanks for sharing.
