Spring perch mod pics

exactly. Why is everyone flipping shit and getting all over my ass over this? hahaha

I wasn't flipping shit, I was asking a legitimate question. Doing things for looks here usually takes precedence over functionality or doing them properly anyway, nothing new here. :p

the roads you drive on must be pretty smooth. I don't think H&R race lower another 3/4" though do they?

next time, cut a coil

[Fidhle007]

It's probably less work and has better results... I thought H&Rs were marked with a cut line anyway?

[PeaveyBassist]

haha Chris. Looks is exactly why I did this yes and I dont mind running these tiny ass tires. I'm poor anyways. And if I ever want to get bigger rims/tires I can get another set of strut housings for $100 anyways. Do they seriously have a cut line or are you just making fun of me? :)

[FredK]

I'm kind of curious myself, because I just installed a fresh cutoff wheel on my die grinder.




jk

But yeah, you can get a new set of strut housings for next to nothing. Heck, you could even go to the GC coilover setup using your housings if you really wanted to.

that looks good

I was planning on doing this with my FK's but I got GC's instead. Looks real good.

Why did you decide to do this rather than drop hats? Just curious.

Yeah. This.

And give me daves housngs back

[PeaveyBassist]

I did this because I didnt want to spend money on drop hats. Heeter, I need to find time to drive over to your place. I'm working every day this week! I should have my schedule for next week tomorrow or Wednesday.

Yeah, cutting and hackjobbing a major suspension component is a great idea. Seriously, save some money and buy drop hats and/or take your spring pads out. Do you just love that whirring noise you get going around corners when the tire hits the spring seat or do you not actually drive?

[FredK]

Just clearance the outside of the spring perch with a torch and hammer?

Fred, I love you.

Just curious though, wouldn't a die grinder be better?

with 195 tires and bottlecaps hitting the spring seat isn't much of a problem :p

I think it looks great, you'll learn that an e30's suspension blows any way you modify it.
