I want to go this route, but need to know who sells them? I've been unable to find it on the net. (for a SC front suspension)
Also, how difficult is it to do on your own and how exactly is it done? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Does any one have any detailed pics of a raised spindle shock/strut? |

QUOTE(Jeroen @ Nov 10 2004, 02:49 PM) QUOTE(brant @ Nov 10 2004, 10:55 PM) It might be cheaper to go with the smart racing bumpsteer kit than to go the spindle route. Unless you also bend the steering "knuckles" you'd still need to deal with bumpsteer issues if you raise the spindles. Raising the spindles is the same as lowering the car through the t-bars (bumpsteer wise) The benefits of raising the spindles is keeping suspension (shock) travel and a-arm geometry ohh... good point... there is another less talked about route too. Its a strut chop.. to achieve a body drop. We went that route. on my pictures in the signature link, you can see a weld line where our koni tubes were sectioned and then re-put-back together... (but this requires different inserts) brant |
