I am looking for feedback from GTA guys who have had the Supreme Power Lowering Spring Perches installed.

Any issues with them in terms of durability, noise, etc?

Which has the most experience installing this in the GTA? I know Ivo is not a fan of them.

Would like to try them unless anyone tells me otherwise.

Thanks,

I tried to DIY it with a basic spring compressor loaned by part source. Worst DIY experience ever, it is such a PITA trying to compress the springs while keeping the shaft as far out as possible. I don't know if my statement even helps you but I figured I would share my nightmare experience.

Thanks for your input! In the end, did you use the perches? Still running them? Like them?

Nope, I couldn't get them installed due to the complications mentioned above. I had to spend 3hrs trying to get the OEM perch installed and once I got it on I realized I forgot to put on my dust boot and bump stop. Fast forward a few months not having the bump stop destroyed my OEM shocks on HARD bumps. They were on the way out already (150,000 kms before I started this route) but I really finished them off. Ended up going all new Koni yellows with eibachs and all new rubber mounts + M3 arms and new HD sway bar links (see garage for pic of suspension refresh).

For anyone thinking of DIY'ing this make sure you get the proper scissor hydraulic spring compressors, not the threaded ones.
