You might want to try some flat bar of at least 5mm for the coil retainer bracket.

Thanks for the advice. Do you think 5mm is necessary of the coil retainer? [/quote:2op7kozp]

No, I think AT LEAST 5 mm as a minimum, is.

Yeah they are great shockies, I have them in the rear too but unfortunately they don't have the same travel as your toughdogs.

Nice Work, out of interest why didn't you go the Icon adjustable UCA? Couldn't justify the extra US$500 or were you worried about the uni ball longevity, from what I've read and been told they are meant to be best for freeing up down travel?

I went abit silly with the credit card and got the icon uca's and remote resi's. This has given me a full droop of 890mm so only an extra 10mm over double_d69's setup.

So what is stopping more travel are the Arms binding on anything or is the shock bottoming out? Or any of the other bits brake lines and stuff limiting it? I'm tossing up whether to order the Ext Travel remote res ones or just go with the standard travel non remote res ones and save $250.

Re: Big Flex - Here is what you need

ookami yes it's my uca's that are binding but I think I should be able to gain some more travel. My intial measurements were taken before I raised the front to a ride height of 820mm, my full droop measurements now are 895mm on the drivers side and 887mm on the passengers side. It's looks like the guys who did my wheel alignment were abit dodgy and mainly used the lca to adjust the passengers side and the uca on the drivers side, since the uca has been adjusted out more on the drivers side it's giving me more travel before binding. I have my car booked in on monday with a suspension shop to get the uca's set up properly to gain max droop.

Any chance of pics of your car side / front etc on, on flat ground, not flexing?

just looking to add a set to my 120 and looking at the Superior Engineering, SuperPro and SPC sets.
