Ground control & strut housing modifications

[dirtyEthirtyIX]

These showed up today. Thanks for the help guys. Do I need to trim the bumpstops? Also how far down should I mount the new spring perches? Do i weld them at the same distance down as stock after I section the 2.1 inches or does the 2.1 inches get subtracted from that distance?

Depends on how much you section out of the tubes. Probably 1" is enough, i did 2". But either way, weld the perches so your threaded adjusters can go nearly to the top (you want to leave about 1/4" clear so the gland nuts fit snugly).

You also want to move the swaybar link mounts down about the same amount you plan to lower the car.

I dont think you need to trim the bump stops. You will probably need to use a spacer at the bottom of the struts, my konis came with one just the right length for housings shortened 2".
