TaborRacing9 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 black chrome they look sick! pnly problem is they start to peel after a few years.. i didnt believe it until mine started to peel in a tiny little spot last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I would love to have the tools/time/talent to do the whole job but between my health issues, limted tools and mechanical knowledge it was just better to leave the parts I didn't know and understand up to someone that did. I am not afraid of any wires which is why I did all that but mechanically speaking I am just limited as far as knowledge. On top of that with my health issues I am just lucky if I get a couple hours here/there when I do not feel bad or too tired to do much.anyway tues/wed no more 4x4, until I see a speed bump or go down my driveway anyway.

ttocs Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 dang... well... i hope you get well soon... eh this has been going on for 10 yrs now and I have given up trying to hope it will get better. just take it hour by hour and super thankfull for a great family to help me out. It is what it is, just takes me along for the ride. anywaySo how is the ride with the new springs feel like a new/different springs? That was another reason I was not excited to do the suspension originally because I know less about suspensions then I do motors and was afraid I would pick the wrong springs/shocks/struts and end up with a horrible ride that I could not stand. This was l before I had even considered baggin it so that was another reason I wanted to do it was that as I will be able to adjust the ride quality. between the bags/shocks/struts, sub-frame connectors and even a new steeda strut tower brace I hope the ride is worth the time and money spent.

TaborRacing9 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 thanks brian! yea dude i want a lil more drop without having to compromise my isos.... i even took the backroads to try and get them to settle a bit lmao.... and yes im a girl ha. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 need to hit some light bumps to get everything settled. I went to school at the WKU in bowling green Ky for a while and everytime a friend came down we went on a tour of the corvette factory. Towards the end I had it memorized and even helped the guides remember some dates sometimes. Anyway - the vettes go all around the plant off the ground till the put the wheels on it. As soon as it hit the ground they drove over some ripple-type of bumps to settle the suspension.I think the back looks ok height wise its just the front that looks that 1/4" too high.

01yellercobra Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 In my experience the H&R's don't really settle. The Eibachs are more known for that. It won't hurt anything to pull the iso's. I only have the bottom rears and it's been like that for years.Misspelling brought to you by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaborRacing9 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 the rear sits perfect... plus im getting wider taller tires on the rear so itll look even better. as for the front, yea shes prolly gonna get homemade rubber isos courtesy of the homedepot lol or electrical tape. we will see. honestly i think id rather be a little tall over having to scrape everything just to lower it half an inch. thats just a bitch... and ty very much bryan!

SVT Rob Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Looks good. I agree with the rest, pull the ISO's and wrap with electrical tape, if you want to quiet them down. I've always just run them with no ISO's in place. If your exhaust is loud enough, you won't hear it anyways. My Cobra is the first vehicle I've owned that's lowered and still has the rubber ISO's in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavisky Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 No isos on my HR supersports and there's no way id ever be able to hear the springs over my exhaust.Misspelled while on the crapper via my Droid Razr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaborRacing9 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 like i said, i think id rather leave the isos in and not deal with bottoming out... im pretty happy with how she looks compared to stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
