How is the rear dropped? Leafs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted February 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) How is the rear dropped? Leafs? the rear 3 or 4 inch kit is adjustable shackles and hangers. I have belltech drop leafs here also which lower a sss about 1.5 inches and then use shackles to get 3.5 on the 1st hole or 4.5 on 2nd hole. one thing though the belltech drop leafs alone with belltech street performance shocks rides and handles better than stock.

Jaymz Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 nicest and best setup TBSS I've seen on this site. GJ man, looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 2/4 drop on my previous SSS w/ belltech spindles and DJM hangar/shackles on back. It rode a little rougher than i liked and had BT street perf. shocks. Also had the driveline vibration at 67 mph inspite of having some good alignment shops look at it. I want to do the 2/3 or 4 drop again, but i want as good or better ride and no vibration issues. Do you have any recommendations on this ?? And if so, do you have any kits laying around in the shop you want to unload?? Between that and wheels for the wifes TBSS, you are gonna cost me a lot of money. I appreciate any feedback. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepingcrna Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 did you cut the bumsptops in rear? YES vibration did you try the 2 or 4 degree shim? YES are you talking about a drop for a sss or tbss? SSS.....for now, but i would love to drop the TBSS a bit as well, just not much especially when i pick up some of those 22's.

NORCAL SS Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 So you tried a 2 and 4 degree shim. Did you try a 6 degree? do you remember where the fat part of the wedge was? ive seen many people put the wedge in the wrong way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rojo_143 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 NORCAL SS, first off you have one of the cleanest TBSS I have ever seen and your wifes is a close second. Love the Replica rims on yours though. I have a couple quick questions about lowering a SS. Have you drove/rode in both (a truck lowered with shackles and hangars Vs. one lowered with leafs and shackles)? which one did you prefer?? Which one did you think had better ride quality compaired to stock? Still tryin to figure out if i want leafs or sshackles and hagars.

Did you try a 6 degree? do you remember where the fat part of the wedge was? ive seen many people put the wedge in the wrong way. I had a reputable alignment shop do it, but know they didn't go more than 4 degrees and i also had another shop check it out so i doubt it was done wrong. I have the same question as Rojo about leafs. Don't worry about getting back to me on this. I'll probably just talk to you about it when i get going on the TBSS wheels. In the meantime, i'll be looking for any parts you're putting up for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORCAL SS Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 god damn how u keep it so clean do u even drive it or is it a show car? nice TBSS street racing locally and shows. Its over 3 years old 5800 miles on it. NORCAL SS, first off you have one of the cleanest TBSS I have ever seen and your wifes is a close second. Love the Replica rims on yours though.

Which one did you think had better ride quality compaired to stock? Still tryin to figure out if i want leafs or sshackles and hagars. I do like the ride of the leafs with shackles better than using shackles and hangers. Also the work involved grinding the rivets out of the frame is a pain for the front hangers. Leafs you put in get the right shocks and your done. I had a reputable alignment shop do it, but know they didn't go more than 4 degrees and i also had another shop check it out so i doubt it was done wrong.

In the meantime, i'll be looking for any parts you're putting up for sale answered above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepingcrna Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 What i'd REALLY like to see is a set your chrome 22's in that TBSS style that would fit an SSS. That might be a really cool look...but then again, it's probably been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
