RAS or B codes??

im sure this has been on here b4 but i cant find it.

here is what i have now: new V codes on the front and tapered blocks on the rear. also a rear hellwigg. my next step is to firm up the rear. i will go new just bc u never know what u r getting. i can get a good deal at my dealer but still $400 for new B's. i cant remember off hand but i could use a lil more rake, so the RAS will not raise me too much. recent thread said he only added 7/8in at dime spacing.......

just trying to do the most economical thing....i guess biggest bang for the buck.....

oh yea, 2000 EX with 155K V10.....

thanks in advance!!!

If you have a lot of wander, go mith the mod/B's...

In my case I never had much wandering so, my set up now is what your running plus the RAS. I'm very pleased with both the ride and handling...

Over the years of owning my Ex. I have found that tire pressure and alignment (not to factory specs) have eliminated just about all my wandering. By the time shocks, hellwig and Ras was installed it was totally gone.

Just for the record, I don't tow much and when I do it's 5000lbs.

Just my 2 cents! Good luck with your choice!
