Moderators Psychorugby Posted January 29, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Weight jackers have a lot more adjustability than 1" @tony. You'd be putting a lowering spring in them, then dropping the weight jacker. I could see getting 3" out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95opal Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Holy crap my head hurts from reading this. Do you want to go Springs with adjustable lca, coil overs or bags If you simply set the car where you want it to sit and measure the ride height like I stated earlier you can make a much better decision on exactly what you will need to get there. Trying to buy something based on saying I want it slammed leaves a lot of unanswered questions and measurements. If you not go bags I would suggest coil overs that are the correct length for where your actual ride height needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 hahaaa, opal don't fuck around!!! i think i understand it all now. talked with dan and bryan so i'm good. just one of those tings i guess. i wasn't understanding how the weight jackers could get you low enough. since we all share the same chasis i figured i could get good info on this shit. i never have tried any of it so i was lost i admit it the whole thing i needed to know was how much adjusting i could get. seeing dans car and also realizing that the pics were from when he had a sra really helped!!

Ferocious Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 so anytime i would drive into any kind of steep'ish entrance if i'm just static dropped...i always hit it at an angle....well when you do that..one wheel will go up into the wheel well while the other extends away from the car...that's when a short spring wants to fall out of its perch. am i really the only one who has had cut springs on a gt lol? This has never happened to me before and they have definitely never fell out while driving. You'd have to go airborne to actually have that much droop in your axle if the rear end is slammed. And fwiw, my rear springs are cut 1 coil and my adjustable control arms currently have the perches raised. I can lower them about another 1/2"-3/4" if I wanted.

slow90coupe Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yep I have had a spring nearly come out in a flex before when I cared about being low. And I saw a guy lose his spring at Mustang Week, it was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 i don't mind a spring coming unset if it would just relax on the lower perch butnooooo....it has to attack the inside of your fn wheel > : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Why wudnt you use a lower spring overall?!? My eibach sport lines are about a 2" overall drop after settlingThis message courtesy of crapatalk!yea i did man. just went with eibach sportlines. the problem i was having was that i cut a couple coils out of some springs i got off craigslist...they slammed the car but were too short to sty in the spring perches when the rear would flex. it's all good now running eibachs and strange 10 ways. good ride and low enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockinHrse_98 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I haven't been on in a while.I don't really see why you'd have an issue with the springs falling out on adjustable LCAs. I know I know, my car isn't that low, but my exhaust is less than 2 fingers off the ground as it is. I have the Maximum Motorsports XD adjustables and Eibach Sportlines in the rear and I can tuck the rear tire all the way into the wheelwell on 17s and not have an issue with the spring moving, but then again I haven't driven it very far like that either. My exhaust hanging so low is my limiting factor right now though. But bottom line, I don't see why you would need a short rear spring with adjustables, especially with your wheel size you wouldn't need to run them down much.
