zmaster Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 were they lowering springs? Thats what I want to get but I don't know what struts or shocks to get time for more searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift00 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 i don't know if there are lowered springs or not. I just bought them through motorsport auto and thats what they gave me. if even if they were lowered spring they should be snug on the strut right everyone?

shift00 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 BTW everyone i found out that its normal and that the weight of the vehicle will compress the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift00 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 I was wondering if the swaybar bushing should be twisted as shown in the pic below...let me know thank joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 thats how my stock ones look, but I think thats because they're old and I need to replace them. I think it should correct when the suspension is compressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmaster Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 It will correct itseld when the car is on the ground. or at least it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift00 Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Thats what i though, but i didn't know for sure...let me tell you what though once you put swaybar in on one side it it hell trying to put it in the other...the best way i found to do it was use a visegrip clamp underneath the trasferlink and on top of the swaybar and compress. Also found that getting the shock on when the ball joint isn't mounted to the bottom of the shock was pretty tough as well, but if you take some channellocks and twist the part that the tie rod mounts to...you can control it pretty easy.

CraigJ Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Looks good. I'm anxious to see what your paint will look like. My 280 is a dark gray metallic and I've wondered what stripes would look like on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
