they are progressive springs been the same since 2000 when they released the original 5305 coils. I have my brackets cut and my truck towing my ctsv in rear no issues with rubbing ac lines.

also when you cut the bracket off the frame you can always get longer bumpstops and cut accordingly to get the most travel without hitting any lines.

i have guys on 305 35 24 and 3/5.5 with bumpstop brackets cut no issues at all.

Well good. Hacking away if avoidable is healthier. Please follow up with the sway bar update. Hey are you using the RK2007 kit from DJM for that?

I will as soon as I get a free day. I put on the rear sway bar when I lowered it originally just because it was lying there while I was under the car so I went ahead and did it but I still have the original end links which i know at this height the sway bar is almost useless but as far as I can tell the rear of my car is solidly on the ground I think once im completely done I will be extremely happy with this kit after all!

NORCAL, at 2/3 what do you think about the trailing arm relocation? is it still beneficial?

I had to get it on my 04 cause the driveshaft was slamming ino the transmission on larger bumps. That was only a 3" drop.

I haven't installed the drop kit yet on my 07 but I have the trailing arm relocation kit waiting to go on at the same time.

Most people don't use it on a 3" drop but I like the fact that it get the rear axle back where it was before the drop and puts less stress on ujoints and other suspension components.

I got them from carid just to help you find them.
They are the CG LED red/clear
That's all I know that's why I said where I got them.
