I'm fully aware that someone makes these, and I have a deposit out on a set, but I'd like to have some this week.

Does anyone have any pictures of these or what they're doing to make them? I'd really appreciate it.

 

I should have them ready to ship by Friday.

 

Okay, I can wait until then. Thanks

 

do it the right way, and buy springs

 

You need the spacer in conjuction with springs. The stock rear shocks are load leveling so if you were to just use springs and no spacers the shocks would raise the rear of the car back up to original ride height, or very close to it. The spacers just fool the shocks into thinking the car is at factory ride height when lowered so they don't "load level" the car. These spacers by themselves would not do anything to ride height.

 

How much are your spacers? What about the front shocks? They are not self leveling?

 

Spacers are 39 shipped. Front shocks are not self leveling so nothing required there.

 

Ok, I'll take a set. When they are ready, shoot me the paypal address!

 

I have some sets ready right now. I will PM you.

Can you just swap out the rear shocks to regular performance shocks that aren't load leveling?

 

Yes, the only thing would be finding a good set of performance shocks that don't cost an arm and a leg. If you went that route you would need to replace the front shocks as well so everything is balanced. I think you would be looking at $850 minimum(Qa1) for a shock setup. Most of the other kits are coilovers and start at around $1000 and go up to $4,000+.

 

I'll probably get whipped for asking but is there a way to disable the self loading capabilities ie pulling a fuse or cutting a wire?

 

Nope, the self leveling is done by valving inside of the shock body.

Nope, It is all done with internal valving. There are no wires or anything. I can't explain how it works but I know its something inside the shock.

 

I received my spacers, and the workmanship is great!

I have a question though, wont the thin rubber washer get torn up when I bolt it back down?

 

coilovers will solve all this nonsense.

 

Got mine today too... Thanks!

 

Personally I would not use the rubber washer. I include it because some people feel it is needed. I did not use it on my H&R or GC setup and I did not have any clunk issues. I will email you some directions in the next hour or so.

 

Not a whole lot of nonsense to it. Its just a poly spacer.

If you are not tracking your car then there is no reason at all to get a high dollar coil over setup. All that is good for is bragging rights. It is definitely not a cost effective modification.
