Hey everybody i need some guidance. I'm about to buy the 5100 for my Mada but was wondering how would it work. Do I need the kit from PRG and new springs.... Any help would be gladly taken:D

All you need are the shocks. You can replace them yourself if you have the proper tools. Most important is a quality spring compressor.

yea dude you dont need the springs from prg. that just makes it a little easier. if you dont have a spring compressor you can rent em from pep boys or similar store for cheap. good luck dude.

You can use the shock the raise the front 2", which would need a matching rear spring. They have three notches for the lower spring seat providing a 0, 1 and 2" of lift.
