I hear about people on here all the time that lower their cars and think it's not low enough. So, I have started leaning towards GC coil overs or aerospeeds.
The only problem I have with coil overs is that they supposedly make some noise. Do you guys with them have a problem with it? SO, I was thinking.... if I put the sleve on the shock, and welded it to the shock, it would be FIRMLY in place, and then if I were to put on the actual mount that the spring sits on, and place a rubber washer or something on top of it, the spring wouldn't rattle or creak at all. Awaiting your thoughts... also, some E-bay coilovers look Ok... maybe... Jon |

ehh, don't the springs keep you from bottoming out? thats why, in auto-x, when you have very high rate springs, they sometimes remove the bump stop altogether. to give it a little more travel, because they know the high spring rates will keep it from completely bottoming out and destroying the strut. meh, i dunno. whatever... |
