blackvert Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Belltech comes with OEM style eyelet bushings...........used them in my 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZebes Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I just ordered a set of Eibach shackles for 2" they look good since i'm putting caltracs in and those have an aluminum bushing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 thanks for the help guys. i got some belltechs from a buddy for free. they were for 2'' drop so i trimmed on them and made them for use on the second hole from the top. repainted them and stuck em in there. they look like they came like that now, and lowered it right at 1.5'' which leaves my truck sittin dead level. couldnt be happier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakesvho Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 looks the same may just be the angle of the picture, truck looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackvert Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 yeah the angle is off, but the front and rear gaps are even now that there are a few miles on the shackle install.....plus it had the "chevy lean" syndrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakesvho Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 it had the "chevy lean" syndrome the lean sucks, hows the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackvert Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) the same....just as long as you trim 2 nubs off of the rear bumpstops, otherwise it's a jarring experience. Edited May 14, 2007 by blackvert (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK04SS Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 i'm interested in doing the same thing. i was thinking of goin with the eibach shackles. is the installation pretty hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haul@ss Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 i'm pretty sure the install shouldnt be too hard for shackles.. if ya did ya own corsa install, you should be able to do this haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
