kyb shocks GCcoilovers

[cameron]

hey guys I been getting the run around by gc and no one is giving me a straight answer. I have stock style kyb shocks and GC coilovers and if I understand this right I don't need to section the struts. I am only looking at a 1" to 2" drop max. I also understand about the bottoming out issue. I would just like a yes or no answer.

 

p.s. I am running a 200 rate in front and 250 in the back. I also have a v8 that is going into it.

You can use that setup, but you will have to take off the old coil mount. The more you drop it the more you will bottom out.

I don't think the KYBs will be able to handle the spring rates you list. And, as said above, you'll have to cut off the stock lower spring perches and weld on the new lower spring perch ring. You'll have to calculate where to weld on the lower spring perch based on the stroke of your shocks and the free length of your springs.

yea I dont think the kyb's are going to hold up that well myself but they were "free" so im not b*tch*ng. My dad has them on his v8 z and they work alright. anyways thanks for the 4 1 1.

 

ill do it and hope for the best
