Coilover Question

Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight. Another 2 bit fan boy running his mouth about something he reads on a website, making an ass of himself, on a forum with more real world experience than he could possibly phathom. Good day mate.
 
Well from someone that has the metal cloak kit which I do you cannot get flex like that out of it. And that is exactly why I am in the process right now of going to bolt on coil overs. In garage Installing as we speak. Don't get me wrong I like the kit but I think bolt on coil overs and the DTD are on a whole different level.

Agreed 100% with Rick. And to be fair to MC, they've never claimed to be a competitor to coilovers. They compete with bolt on kits and advertise that their 6pak shocks will give you more travel than standard shocks, which I believe they do. But for anyone to argue that they're even in the same league as a bolt-on/weld-on coilover system means they don't really know the system they're arguing for.

You must admit, from a droop perspective, this shot is impressive from a non-coilover:

Not really, Any Fulltraction kit would flex as good or better with cheap monotube shocks. It's the same as any other X brand combo

I would appreciate more use of terms like wanker, bullox, prop shaft etc to further entertain myself.

Thx mate.

And to be clear, this is an eye level shot with a JK running 40x15.50's and as you can see, the tire is still way below the rocker guard. A smaller tire would make this look even more impressive if not flat out broken.

Agreed, the MC kit isn't even in the same league but I will have to say, I do see their fanboys trying to make the case that they are all the time.

In all fairness, I would have to agree with piginajeep here. The shot was taken a bit higher and the tires look like they're just 37's. I mean, it looks good but not anything more special than a lot of the kits out there.

This is not metal cloak. Did I do something wrong?

Yup, that is a fact and one that I'm glad you pointed out. With an EVO lever system, limiting straps are NEEDED to prevent driveline bind at a full droop. :yup:

So, let's say you pulled the driveline and go to full droop. What would an EVO Lever yield? Has anyone figured out the maximum, unrestricted flex is?
