Default Yes ive had it done, yes it needs to be drained, they did sway bars to , need 6 hours of labour

so without sway bars maybe 4 hours labour?

If you're not using them, why drain? just cap them like what Stasis does.

Default Thanks! Besides labor, what' the rough $$$ of fluid. Scary, dealer can't answer these questions...

but they're the only ones I trust to bleed and refill the system if it needs to be done.

Default It did for mine

I had the H&R springs installed and the dealer did have to drain the DRC system. It took them 3 days to find enough fluid to recharge the system. And yes, it is expensive. Took 5 hours for mine, luckily I was the first spring install that they did so they didn't know how long it would actually take...thereby, discount. Good luck.

Default Thanks for the replies! A few more questions. What was the ride height diff, I'm assuming...

eberything is lowered including chassis, not just body. Was it WELL worth it? I want to do Stasis again but my driveway won't allow it right now.
