Ground Control not sittin low in the front??

or get shorter camber plates. the GC plates would give you at *least* an inch of travel at the same height you are right now.. without cuting and welding anything.

If I pulled it apart like you showed. Cut that bump stop then the shock would compress more.
This still isnt allowing me any shock travel. In the end I see the only and best way to do it is to buy short koni and cut the tubes.

^ and afaik, IE plates are even taller than the stock ones.

Im not running ANY bump stops.

On the front Bilsteins, they are inside, you can't see them

So if your shock is showing that much when it is bottom out then Im sure my shock is fully compressed because thats all that I have sticking out of the top of the shock.

Exactly. Thats why I posted the first pic, it is easier to understand.

Im going to pull shit apart and check it out later tonight...

Thats why I posted the second pic! Cut that with a steak knife, don't cut more than that.

This is what it all looks like installed.

hmm, I dont know. The plate is no more then 2 inches thick at most. Anyone have a pic of the GC plate installed and not in the car? I will look into it though.

There is whole thread about this somewhere with pics. I can't find it right now. Search for billie bump.



But.. until then, check that you don't accidentally have 2 spring perches up top. But also, you may just be on the Bilstein bumpstops. The car will sit onto them sooner than you expect.

I have attached a pic of me pushing on Bilsteins until they bottom out. You will notice there is a lot of Chrome Bilstein shaft still showing, but inside they are stopped.

Aren't IE camber plates notorious for adding lots of stack height?

Looking at the picture, I would say yes. There's is an inch or two in that camber plate that you do not have in GC's...

[nando]

yep, I think they raise the front of your car by about 1". try GC or vorshlag if you want to lose the gap.. or shorter springs and less travel (not a great choice).

[e30this]

I have no idea... This is what they look like...
