1.5 coils cut up front on unknown lowering springs. 2 coils cut rear on stock springs w/blown shocks. Tires are too tall, I know. New ones coming in Spring.
Summer is going to bring some Bilstein Sports w/Spax. Also have some adjustible sways waiting on me to get some new brackets & bushings. Before then I'll probably cut another coil just for shits and giggles. I do have a spare oil pan.

I drove Mikes 6 from Tennesse to Chicago on your coilovers haha. It was a bit harsh but I still would definitely want them. Playing with the valving a bit should help out.Fox wrote:
D Unit asked what I was thinking. Looks great! One ride in my car and you'll definitely be praising the spax setup. I need to do some shocks overhauling and revalving. If I ever go back to springs, spax is definitely top on my list.
Rofl! I forgot about the 6er for a minute. Well, I don't know when the front koni's blew, must have been very shortly after we put the coilovers in mine...so those are done. I don't even know what shocks are now in the front, whatever Luci decided to throw in there, but it's pretty bad right now. The front is definitely more enjoyable than sitting in the rear, which you're probably aware of. I got airborne off the seat sitting in the back while Mike M. was driving on the freeway, from the bounce. That was pretty cool.Moose wrote:I drove Mikes 6 from Tennesse to Chicago on your coilovers haha. It was a bit harsh but I still would definitely want them.

You might want to go back to the first post, where he says "and your thoughts on the ride quality"C.R. Krieger wrote:You guys do realize that the antiroll bars are totally irrelevant to ride height and that the shocks, if gas-charged, only make an infinitesimal difference. All you're looking at is the difference in springs and wheel sizes ...
Antiroll bars have a lot to do with ride quality, my friend.
Memo
anti roll bar doesnt effect ride quality. there for ANTI ROLL!!! as in around corners not straight roads or bumps. if you know how to set up roll bars and not bind them then you will not effect ride quailty.4playcamaro wrote:You might want to go back to the first post, where he says "and your thoughts on the ride quality"C.R.

if you want to know how to adjust them you need hiem end links and read up about it, other wise your awesome roll bars aint doing shit.

They do have a small contribution to ride quality. Whenever you go over a bump with just one wheel the bar becomes active.
I just finished installing mine, and adjusted to the tight end, the ride DID get firmer, and softer when set to the loose side.
