 Subject: aim coils...
IP: Logged
Message:
well, after i heard all the complaints about this company, i was very cautious when picking out what coils i wanted for my truck, i decided on djm.... they were actually suppose to be a gift, so i didnt buy them myself. come to find out, my dad bought the coils from aim, after i specifically told them what ive heard about the company. the day they were spose to be shipped, he went online to check the status... not shipped yet. so he sends theman email. no reply. he checks the next day, around midday, and they still hadnt been shipped, he sends them another email, to which it wasnt replied, once again. in the back of my head i wanted to say "i told you so!". a total of four days after they said they were suppose to leave their warehouse or whatever, they coils arrive on my doorstep. i was amazed to see them, i thought it was gonna take atleast an extra couple of weeks! im actually impressed on how fast they arrived. the coils look nice, when visually comparing them to my friends djm silverado coils, they look to be about the same (thinkness, stiffness and what not). i havent installed them yet, but ill let you know how that goes, i guess thats the most important part!

I got some 2" lowering blocks from them, I'm pretty happy with em.:) They're angle-cut for pinion angle and everythning.
They took 3 days to arrive at my door, and I had the same issues looking at the status and calling em as you did. I don't know what the deal is with those people...

ya, they dont answer or respond, but eh, im not complaining, they got the job done farily quickly... quality on these coil springs look pretty good by my eyes, but only the weight of the truck can tell... as of right now, im happy though!

I think u should be pretty happy with em once u put em on. I have AIM 3" drop coils with 1/2 a coil cut off. I like the ride and havent had any problems at all for about a year now. & they were a helluvalot cheaper than the DJM coils i had before. good luck with em!

Hey UF, you said you cut a half inch off the coil.. Was the ride the same as from before or did it get better.. I'll be honest my ride quality is sh*t and I need something better.. I live in south florida and the roads are sh*t down in hialeah where I work, but my ride is so stiff and it feels like something is going to break everytime i go over a bumpy road :(.. So let me know about that cut coil.. thanks
Later
Mike

Mike, well... i don't know how they would've rode before i cut the coils, because i cut em before i ever put em on :) And before that i had DJM springs w/ 1and1/2 coils cut off! But, I saw your pic and the truck looks reall nice! When u cut springs, they lose some of that tension, which makes the ride less harsh. HOWEVER... remember this: if u lower your truck anymore (whichever way u choose) it'll cause your shocks to become more compressed, WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY STIFFEN THE RIDE! Sooo, if u drop it or not, if u dont have drop shocks, get em! If you're not afraid to cut the springs, u can get another inch or so; but the ride prolly wont get any better unless u get a set of the right shocks for your drop. Hope this helps.
Oh, and i know all about the sh*tty roads of south florida, i'm from palm beach county. U should go to the blood drag show in February. It's an awesome show! check it out! www.blooddrag.com
