2bseen Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Anybody using them. I have the spindles and thinking about taking them out so I can run 16" wheels with drag radials at the track. I would still run my 20s on the street so I want it to be lowered. With the keys is it as low as with the spindles? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwank Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 the keys will go as low as the spindles but the ride won't be as good. i just got a set of a member of this site they will hopefully go in soon and i'll let you know how they are but i heard the front end gets floaty. i would stay with the spindles. i'm only using keys because i use 16" snow tires.

RacerJJ Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I recently got keys...gained a full 2 inches of drop in the front. The ride qualtiy is the same as stock IMO. You can see how low it is in my sig pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmalibuss Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 as long as you dont completely remove the factory bump stops you will be fine just cut off one nub with a sawsall or hacksaw You get a worse ride when you completely remove the bumpstops because they are designed in as part of the spring rate. this will stiffen the ride a little bit but when done rite you won't hardly notice the difference.

qwank Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 well how the keys work is basically you are putting less tension on the torsion bars which makes the ride softer up front. so it tends to float on the highway over bumps. i noticed this when i loosened my stock keys down.
