anybody got pics of their cars with these springs? i want my car a little lower cuz right now i have the ford racing c springs and it sits too high for me but i also dont want to scrape the shit out of my longtubes. so any pics or input would be awesome. also hows the ride quality?

[the real shocker]

H&R's + Long tubes = Disaster

you could always cut a half coil off of the C springs... they have a dead coil on them that they make for you to cut if you dont like the ride height... and it doesnt make them ride any different. I cut 1/2 of my rears & am taking the iso's out of the front and it should sit a tad lower than when I had the eibach pro kit on it

i have h&r's with long tubes....i admit that i do bottom out occasionally but not that often...i can take speed bumps sideways no problem, but if the road gets pretty rough u will scrape...im not sure how the roads r out there but i live in a rural area so i might have a different definition of rough roads...they're pretty bad

really? how do i go about cutting off that dead coil?

[Blk01ponyGT]

also are the dead coils only on the rears or the fronts too? cuz my front sits a little higher than id like also but i dont really want to take the iso's out

[the real shocker]

my c springs came with a piece of paper telling you which end of the springs to cut from... you cut from the tops for 2 springs and from the bottom for 2 springs... I just dont remember which applied to the front or rear. You could call american muscle, and i'm sure they could tell you really fast

and yes, front and rears can be cut

another thing to consider is that the C springs are rather stiff springs, so they will continue to settle the more you have them

i forget not everyone has roads like Mississippi and mine is a DD which makes a bigger difference

awesome! thanks shocker! saved me the price of some new springs. ive had mine for about a year now so i think they are quite settled haha but thanks alot man ill have to give AM a call!

[the real shocker]

no prob... let me put it to you this way

my car with C springs a month old (rear cut 1/2 coil):


and my buddies with C springs about 2 years old (not cut, with all iso's in):

[Blk01ponyGT]

for some reason your buddies still looks lower than mine. i can still put 4 fingers between my tires and fenderwell

[the real shocker]

his are 2 years old now.....that would be the main reason!

[Blk01ponyGT]

yeah this is what mine look like right now so i think cutting them would make it just right.

[the real shocker]

absolutely!!

maybe cut 1/2 off the rear and 3/4 off the fronts.... its gonna look great!
