Springs are Eibach 440/650lb, recommended by MCS. Might be a bit stiff, we'll see.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I didn't realize that about the strut mount point. I'm a bit of a stancy guy so running a bit lower (not crazy low) aligns with my needs. I will look into these and see which MCS dealer I go with can accommodate. I'm thinking of doing Swift Springs but we'll see. Glad to see options others are using.

My understanding was the Tarrett offering was designed specifically not to adjust caster....is that not the case? Thats what their website says anyways, and looking at the design I can't see how it would have any caster adjustment.

In any case, I spec'd 2WNR as well but ultimately decided I didn't need more adjustments to fiddle with. If the springs end up being too stiff it won't be too hard to swap them out.

IMO you will be way to stiff for street driving with 440/650 I went with 400/500 and 225 pound tenders which soften up the bad roads a lot. I was considering dropping down to a softer spring but as I make more adjustments I find I am enjoying it as is.
This ^

i made the same mistake with my 2 way coilover system.. Too harsh. 450/600 was too much. Setup now is 350/500. With solid top mounts it’s really good on the street.
