stupid question but can someone with a 2015 confirm something for me. If memory serves me I don't recall the 2015 having a removable retainer for the front shocks and springs....
This is my 2016.5 with a slotted retainer for the spring. I know the shocks are crap... I get that but if i can remove these springs I can play with a cheap suspension upgrade by just changing springs rather than everything. Need to see if the rear is that way as well.
Did the shocks change for 16.5 year break?

Yeap, that is the same as the earlier versions. If you need some help with springs, I can give you a bunch of options for rate and ride height that we tested.

mine must have been turned perfectly around because i never saw the slot.. freaking stupid if me. Just assumed they were fixed setup.
Thanks @Dave@DDMWorks .... Did a lot of spring stuff with my old Spitfire several years back. The mod bug is strong but all extra cash goes to another project so easy simple inexpensive solutions are all I want to afford for now. Looking for about 1/2" to 1" drop max with slight stiffer rate. -
I will go over my old notes, but I believe we were using a 10" - 250# spring in the front to lower it about 3/4" and I don't remember the rear setup right off. I will see what I can dig up though for you.

great!... thanks.
What made you not want to offer just the springs if I may ask?
Shocks that bad... -
Actually it was a really nice little setup that we finished up testing on, the stock shocks are not great, but since we are not really bumping up the spring rate much, they worked pretty good. Finishing up the supercharger kit and other things took a little higher priority though.

well I'm interested... so there's that.
