12'SROCK Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 what do you have now? 2/3? does it sit level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 yeah 2/3 but its more than that...about 2.5/3.5 and it has a very slight rake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 how did you get it to 2.5 in the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivierakid55 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 how did you get it to 2.5 in the front? turning the keys. i could just add 1 inch drop keys i guess but im more partial to just doing 3 inch drop spindles. id actually go lower like a 4/6 but i think with torsion bars im somewhat limited.

rivierakid55 Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 i dont know basically the same if your talking about spindles i guess. only issue ill have is ill probabably need to get new wheels and tires but im ready for some new ones anyways.

kelleyperformance Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 go for the new belltech coilovers in front.... you can go as low as your heart desires with whatever spring rate you need. keep the 2" spindles and install them, it will look sick. i am planning on doing this as soon as i have sufficent funds lol. your gunna need to cut out the front fenders tho... cause im now 3" up front, and i hit occasionally. the tire is barely an inch away from the fender when sitting level. back is no prob, i rolled the inside of the fenders. i could use a c-notch tho.....

kelleyperformance Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 like any other coilover..... they go inplace of the shocks. you could use them in the rear, but youd need a 4 link kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelleyperformance Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 i called them and the guy THOUGHT they made them for us.... but i never called back. im sure there is somebody who does tho. and if not, you could always get a custom set made. i should have the front done by september, and the back by december Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
