alright so tomorrow im planning on putting the rear on. i noticed the rear shocks dont have the plate with the two prongs. does that piece just come off the old shocks? ill prob run with no adjuster. no need for it IMO

Are you talking about the rear shock mounts???

[ck_taft325is]

He means adjuster hehe

ya the rear shock mounts, just saw that they stay on the car haha. thanks tho. gonna be freezing tomorrow when i put them all on

[motorsports_3]

So you guys are reccomending to get vert springs in order to get the better spring rates?

[CHIF8008]

ok so i did the rear tonight: this is the 2-door set:



and with them installed



pics are with it still up in the air.

sooo much nicer than having blown shocks haha

[mightywhitey]

no shots of ride height? sucka..

[CHIF8008]

okay so some shots on the floor:




Before:


after:


not the best photos but it is a lil bit lower. mind you i JUST finished putting them on. still need to settle. and from other rides- it should tuck nicely

-much better than blown shocks

1 day of settle:

^^^thats jintermont's car with the rear settled for about 2 weeks.all the way down. if mine looks like that i will be happy

- but crap these high arches i have are gonna suck

There's not a lot of active spring left! rates better be high. Consider taking the spring pads out. At least the top ones. They add to the ride height and limit your travel.

ya i was planning on running with no adjuster, but the spring would be very loose on the bottom. maybe ill take the top pad out.


its better than my blown shocks and original springs. the ride is stiffer, and with me being an aggressive driver- stiffer is bertter

Your car is not going to look like that with the high rear arches. Take the spring pads out at the minimum, but it looks like you're going to have to run just the spring to have the ride height you want.

Loose springs aren't that big of a deal. My Ground Control springs fall out whenever I jack the car up.

Pads dont limit travel? If anything taking pads out will reduce travel.

This...

And, as someone else said, loose springs don't mean dick. You'd have to be Duke's of Hazarding that shit to have anything "go wrong". Not to say extraordinary things don't happen, but really, it wont matter much.

If the rear doesn't sit exactly where you want, go buy $79.00 rear GC springs of your choice and pop 'em in there. Instantly lower and you can run your adjuster.
