Or get longer bolts for the front shocks and put a spacer underneath them. -Rick   Mark T (Flybye) New Member Username: Flybye Post Number: 32 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 08:17 pm:    what OME shocks should I get I was thinking of the (N107)?   Rick Neff (Lostinboston) Member Username: Lostinboston Post Number: 77 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 08:24 pm:    I have the 107 up front on spacers. when i fianlly get around to getting Bilsteins you can come pick them up for a 6 pack of amstel. that should give you an idea of what i think of them also.   Mark T (Flybye) New Member Username: Flybye Post Number: 33 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 08:34 pm:    Really the Blisteins are better? whats' wrong with the OME's? what should I do? I'm happy with the stock ride now, and I'd like to keep it like that, I just figured since I have to remove the shocks anyway I should upgrade?   Rick Neff (Lostinboston) Member Username: Lostinboston Post Number: 80 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 05:25 pm:    There is nothing wrong with the OME's, I just like the bilteins much much better. Plus a much larger choice of valving, instead of just light, medium and heavy. I am trying to find the best adapter for the front. Once i find it ill let ya know what it is, and where i got it. -Rick   Mark T (Flybye) New Member Username: Flybye Post Number: 34 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Friday, October 24, 2003 - 10:57 pm:    the Blitenies are adjustable? what model woudl you suggest? there only about 15$ bucks more then the OME's thanks]   Rick Neff (Lostinboston) Member Username: Lostinboston Post Number: 82 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 25, 2003 - 01:09 am:    They are not adjustable. I am running 7100 series 12" travel reservoir short body 255/70 valving in the rear. I am going to test them in the front. they are a little soft though. 275/78 or 360/80 should work great.
