    I'm a bit confused on your current setup...did you say you just installed the OME rear coils and kept your RC lift in there also for now? If so, it looks like you might have put the coils on the wrong side. One side is slightly longer to compensate for the gas tank. Looks good otherwise! I would also advise against stacking your RC lift and OME coils in the front. I would just do the OME coils with 1/2 inch spacer in the front.

    His xk is 2wd and I believe he plans on HD UCA's. Also it looks like his driveway isn't level. It looks like it slopes towards the drivers side

    I have a few drinks in me so my memory may be screwy right now... but I recall the slots being oriented in the other direction. some install instructions got screwy due to the "drivers side" vs "passenger side" between US and EURO vehicles.

    Basically... im too many drinks in to figure it out 100% right now, but not far enough gone to remember that those might be backwards. And yeah, i know where the front of your vehicle is based on the tie-rod

    Lol, I hear ya! Im about to go out and check which way the Internal Cooling Vanes are pointing. From what I've read the actual face of the rotor does not dictate whether its a left or right rotor.

    Good call! The internal vanes are a good double-check.

    Yes I am currently running the OME coils AND RC lift int he rear. I didnt know there was a difference in the coils? I thought they were the same. And I know double stacking is ill advised but I am going to run it anyway with JBA UCA's as I'm 2wd and I will hopefully be ordering the superlift by the end of the summer (if I can find one!) Ive talked to a couple guys that double stacked and xkcowboy did it for 2 years untill something went wrong. I will only be running it for a few months til I end up doing it right.

    Oh I see. Yes there is a difference in the rear coils only. I think it should be labelled A and B. So are you going to stack the front RC spacer and OME coil too?

    Hmm, I'll check on that tomorrow. But yes, I am going to double stack the front as well, I'm just waiting on my struts to arrive. I wont be installing until I get JBA Uca's though so I'll only have to get it aligned once. I either going to run 275/65/20 or 285/65/20. Depending on which one fits best haha.
