is it safe to roll around without the bumpstop? if so i would love to take mine out i dont like the spacer deal

I have not hit mine in years ;) We cut them 10 years ago when I put the sportlines on.

I will be filling the hole with a .120 plate to make me feel better :D

Took a few hours of trimming, cutting and Banging away. I am going to pull the springs out and see just how far I can drop the car when I am done ;)

Lots of shocks nowadays (Bilstein etc) have built in bump stops too. Looks great Ellis! Mean as hell!

doesnt seem too bad. would you mind posting pictures of your calipers? id love to put 325s on my t/a. oh also the rear isnt shortened any is it?

Damn Ellis, do you think those will hook? :D 15" Mickeys, yes? And that 1/2" difference in offsets really makes a difference - my 335s clear my bumps stops on 17" rims. :confused:


So I guess this means I can't quit going up to Schwabie every day to see if my buddy is working....

Thanks Guys! I still have the other side to do. I gotta fix a Saturn tonight then I will be back at it. After I get done there it will be time to the the MADMAN man TQ arm on and start fabbing the front cross member for it.

I am running stock un-touched LT1 rear calipers. They clear my Bogarts Great!

You know it. Running out of time :D

The 315 Sumo's seem to be smaller than the others too. Cause I have 315's on mine, and I seen a couple people that I knew in Va, that had 315's but other brands, and they all looked about 1/2" to 3/4" bigger than mine. I romeved my Driver side bump it was the only one that would rub a little, when I lifted my car with a jack. The passenger side seemed fine.

Badass.

Are those Mickey's DR? Doesn't look like you had to do to much to get em to fit? I tubbed mine last year for 345's and it was a lot of work.

Tread pattern looks like M/T DRs to me. :)

looks good elis, should make for some nice wheel stands

Very nice. No bump stops here, no issues.

Got most the hard parts done. I just need to weld some support plates in.

I wasn't going to BUT it looks like I could shorten the rear end an inch(1/2 on each side) and drop the car down and really tuck them in there!
