if you dont swap out the pads, you might not notice the drop!

I have dove into my suspension 2xs....1st time swapping pads, 2nd time swapping springs and pads again.

im running #1s on front and #2s rear. I still want a bit more....

get #1 pads all around when you install your springs.., you wont regret it.
