Fran Hall at RCR has designed a kit for the SLC that sits in the coilovers, should be equally suitable for an Ultima. Fran occasionally contributes on this forum, you can find him here....

Look dead easy to install.

How long do they take to go full travel and what length have you fitted?

Do you have enough thread length on the shock to use the original spring?

maybe around 5 or 6 secs? for fully up and i have the 2.5" which equates to slightly more lift at the nose.
needed shorter springs.

Im interesting in these too, but if you run shorter springs will that not effect handling?..

When you buy a Spring the lbs rating is based on compressing the spring by 1". If you see a long spring with the same lbs rating as a short one the long spring will be a thicker coil, basically as long as the rating is the same the length should not have an effect on the spring rates..... Hope that makes sense...
