    So really, the more you cut the housings, the more shock travel you have, at any given ride height.


    An example, although my car is way different due to my v8 swap requiring 1" subframe spacers which raise the front of the body relative to the LCA's, so don't try to duplicate my setup:

    I cut my housings 1", and installed 325ix inserts along with a ~3" spacer. I cranked my adjusters down about 1/2 way, and the ride height is exactly where I want it. But, I'm bottoming out the shocks. I have 6" springs.

    My plan is to cut another 1" out of the housings, and buy 7" springs. This will keep the ride height the same if I don't move the adjuster position, but will give me 1" more shock travel.
    Thank you, people really don't get it when I tell them what the point is to removing tubing from the housing.

    It is for gaining travel at lowered height.

      One is in the works and have only ONE set left at the 200+ shipping deal price.
      This one comes with JUST the spindle, you have to buy new bearings as they are removed and gone. All work as described in the deal above is included in this set price.

      I sent you a PM.

        Both deal sets that included the housings are SOLD. If I get in anymore housings they are a core of 50 each.

        I will still be doing the 200.00 deal for the works to YOUR housing shipped to me. That is everything I listed.

        Thank you everyone for the positive response.
