Curious for those that got the 60/50 springs. Are you guys removing the rear spring pads to get it a little lower?

Actually i think the fronts will need to be removed or the rears doubled up for the drop to look even(or drop hats). I know jason has the 60/50's and he had to double his rears IIRC. He also has an early model car though.

I will post mine up once i get them installed in the next week or 2.

i have the 60/50mm setup and hopefully will be installing them on wed. ill try and get pictures then! i might remove spring pads all around as i plan on rolling the fenders hardcore.

Sweet man! Looking forward to the pics!

Yeah my car is a 90' vert and I guess i have the late model arch, so I want to make sure what to remove and not to have a good stance.

Hey Uber, so you're in burlingame? Is that in the bay area right? If so I wouldn't mind to meet you up sometime before I get my on. Would like to get a my car set a good stance and not double up the work. :up:

Indeed, im about 30 minutes north of you in the peninsula. I got the lowtec 60/50 and the matches shocks/struts for them as well as a completely overhauled suspension. Will be going in before the new year so you are welcome to check it out and take a ride.

Thanks man! I might just take you up on that offer!

If you're talking about my car (since there are 52,703 Jasons on here :crazy:) i got the spring pads in the front but none in the rear. With them removed, it only drops them 1/8"-1/4".

ah ok so i was backwards. Did you remove both the lower and uppers from the rear?

I want to see them installed.

will be on the member's rides section when done.
just waiting on ground control rear shock mounts..

that's why i got the 60/35.

and everyone hates on early models.:roll:

And those ground control shock mounts are expensive i think i'm just going with e46 or e36 cabby rear shock mounts

So we need rear shock mounts to install these springs?

Yes, i removed both upper and lower from the rear.

No its just recommended to upgrade them because they are a common point of failure. At worst upgrade them to the e36 ones and really you should buy some aftermarket ones like RE, or GC. I personally went with the RE ones because they use rubber. Trying to avoid as much polly as possible on my daily.
