GC's are on!

Thats what the d-ring is for... The "no weld d-ring kit" description confused me.. But that looks welded, no?

[csermonet47]

You might have to cut and do the D-ring with the bigger wheels and tires. That is one of the reasons to do it in the first place, for more clearance. With 15x9 ET0 wheels, you are going to need all the space you can get. It isn't too difficult if you have a friend that can weld. You should be able to go a good bit lower. That is the setup I have in my sig.

D-ring in place:

cut those fucking zip ties, hipster.

im running the same setup, bilstein hd's with gc kit. and didnt use the perches that it came with because what wront with trimming the stock perch and using it. unless the perch is to be able to drop from stock perch height to a little lower. but then i was worried about shock travel being to short.


could i just go about sourceing shorter springs and move my adjusters up

English your second language? Billie HD's are completely the wrong shock to use with GC's.

You'll have to cut the perches if you want the front end a little lower. What springs rates, what shocks, etc... ?

[manjambles]

English is my only language :finger:

its the gc kit running eibach springs 600lbs front 440lbs rear.

so you're saying that i need to cut the stock perch, shave the weld down then weld the new perch lower.

and bilsteins is all ill trust, annnnd i like them thank you

no problems with bilsteins. its HDs that are a problem with GCs. Get some sports at least.

[FunfGan]

^Really, if you're going to jack my thread, at least use understandable language. And maybe semi-decent grammar? And hahahah, yes. Excuse me, using zip ties to attach something makes me a hipster... 1+ on the logic.

[FunfGan]

And seriously, Ive already spent 3 days trying to get the control arm ball joint off, its stuck on there GOOD.

[FunfGan]

*WELL. Hahah

[jasonsnoddy]

That looks too high even sitting on the stock perch. My vogtlands are lower then that.

[manjambles]

yea im gonna jack you're thread! I have the same question.

and at least I know how to take my struts off the car noob...
