I think you're still living in denial. Everyone knows it's called West Virginia Chrome!

Why dont you just skip all the hassel and just heat your springs up with a torch till its lower lol

[J-rod]

cause i bought all new gear from Lou. :)

[INSANELY CRAZY]

hey i gots an idea.... just take the springs out completly.. yea thats the way to do it , it will sit level then..lol

Has anyone used the Global West spacers? Do you actually order the amount of change you need, or is there some other formula? I've got about 3/4" lower on the DS, so a 3/4" spacer would do it? seems like there would be more to it as the spacer would change the loading on the springs at different corners, then change that ride height.

So why cant you just buy new springs instead of wasting time on a set of stock springs with worn out and differing spring rates?

Did you notice that this thread is damn near 2 years old?

[Tony71502]

How is the date relevant to the information. It's not.

I don't know about anyone else, but I still have the "fox lean" even with new springs. It's a chassis thing with these cars. There are some things to help it, but coil overs up front seems to be the most reliable fix. 9 out of 10 times the issue is up front and has nothing to do with the rears.

I agree Bob, I have front and rear coilovers and the rears have different installed height to make it level, fronts are same adjustment--weird.

rear coilovers

Who's rear kit are you running? Does it use a stock upper mount and just a bolt on lower? Whose shocks are they?? Coil overs are on my to do list (maybe ver the summer) been doing some reading and only really came up with MM as a bolt in.

i ended up using LMM springs front and rear with no iso's at all. sat fine imo. i sold it a few months later.


holy old thread batman!

Sorry Bob no bolt-in, its a Strange kit set-up by Team Z when they did the minitub. I think the key with mounting them is just the length between the upper and lower mount if you wanted to make one or the other.
