toxic donkey Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 ready to order my 2/3 drop tomorrow. who has the best prices or do any of the site sponsors carry it? ive read evry thread in this section and it seems that most recomend spindles for the front, but opinions vary on lowering the back. i havent seen anyone speak on the kits on belltech's site that include drop springs for front and shackles for back. i believe the kits also include shocks front and back. are these not good kits? also, it seems that the main concern of hangers and shackles is proper use of shims. also seems from the threads that leaf packs dont have these problems but they drop the back alot more than 3in.please tell me if i have understood this right. this is my first mod and this money is burning a whole in my pocket!!

Jaymz Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 for the spindles.. yah cheapest. but to be honest with you I've had one of the worst experiences of my life dealing with performance center. late shipping, unshipped items, no returned calls.. still waiting on items orderd on 1/29. I spent over $1,200.00 in one order form youd think id be on a tiny bit of a prority... NO. I'd rather pay the $20 extra and have my gear in 3 days. which is exactly what i did with the rear springs.

toxic donkey Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 thanks DJ, just got off the phone with summit,spindles and leaf springs on the way. threw in a magnaflow dual in dual out for good measure. one question though... once you installed the leak springs, did you have any problems with drive shaft alignment? thanks gentlemen for all your help.

The leaf springs are set up already aligned so you won't have to worry about shims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
