i did some reading and it said that on the strut housing the car has less leverage on the sway bar making a smaller bar "feel" like a larger one. is this correct?

STICKY THIS, NOW
of all other stupid shit, this is actually a good write up and high post count. Hate looking for it every time.Comment

Huge questions, this makes me feel a little uncomfortable:
my GC sleeves in the front don't sit around the strut housing very tightly. Is the supposed to be some sort of spacer? Or is it alright. Seems like I have 1-2 mm clearance.Comment

bump for my question and stickyComment

Ely helped me out via PM. He wrapped tape around housings for sleeve to perfectly fit. I'l be doing the same thing.
I don't trust suspension parts that aren't nice and tight.Comment

That'll work. Also might have been able to find a neoprene rubber band at a big hardware store.....
The Cosmo coilovers come with them just for the reason above.sigpic

that's another good idea, I was wondering what else could work to build up the thickness, I may just use thick electric tape.
Neoprene is cloth isn't it? Would it get chewed up by elements?Comment

Right it is in the form of wet suits, waders etc.
But I think it's reformulated and still called that. It's just rubber that's more resistant to wear/weather damage...
As I understand it.sigpic

awesome info in here.
I just bought the GC conversion kit with G60 front billy sports.
Has anyone found out where to get a neoprene sleeve that's only a mill thick? That seems like a hard find. Electrical tape is messy as fuck after a month or so.
Maybe hockey tape? I don't know how long that lasts though. Haven't played since I was 8...
Also, does anyone sell super low profile helper springs? The ones pictured on pg 6 look like they add over an inch of ride height.Last edited by Moto-Mucci; 02-02-2009, 01:27 PM.Comment

In Chicago, sealing up the sleeves might not be a good idea. You may end up with water/salts trapped between the sleeve and the housing, which will make a great home for rust to start eating your housings, and you will never know...until it's too late.
Ground Control has HELPER springs which are only about 15mm compressed.Comment

Hmm good point.
I wonder if I could maybe just add a couple extra layers of paint to the bilsteins to make up a couple mm's.Comment

...probably your best bet.
How 'bout Plasti dip?Comment
