nice build i almost went with daytona blue on mine but ended up with 70 chevelle red thanks for the info on the mounts..i have a build thread on mine i will be posting new pics of paint next week hopefully!

 

Need some help. what should i do about my front end. its too high. I thought about cutting springs or using v6 springs, but i know some one out there has a better plan thanks kevin.

 

air ride suspension!

 

Kevin,
I really like the car and the color. Good Job. I don't know why yours is so high and mine ended up so low. I bought the car with no engine or trans and I can only assume my car has the original springs. I started with a SSBC drum to disc kit that included 2" dropped spindles assuming that my car would be too high. By the time I got my LQ4 running, I couldn't drive it because it was so low. I ended up having to buy stock height SSBC spindles. Very expensive kit in the end.

You either need softer/shorter springs or you can go dropped spindles. Dropped spindles will lower without changing steering geometry like cutting springs will do. I don't know if your front brakes are stock or not, but if by chance you have SSBC disc brakes up front, I have the 2" dropped spindles if you are at all interested.

got springs today i went with v6 hope that will bring the front down.not sure when i will put them in yet.

 

Finaly the big day is here i will get my car back home thuesday now i can start working on the wiring and crome. they have done a great job on the body work its been a long 2 years but now it was worth the wate. i will post more pics when i make more progress a home.

 

finaly got car back yesterday from body shop. now time to start putting it back togather.

 

How bout some pics ???

 

I cut 1 loop out of the SBC spring and it still high, maybe I'll give it time to drop, or maybe I'll just order drop spindle

 

I hope to put my spring on next week if i do ill post pics of it i got v6 springs hope they set wright.

 

got new springs in tonight havent set it down yet i painted calipers ill put them on tomarrow and set it back down. and hope for the best

 

needs a set of 33x10.5" mudders and a transfer case...lol

I didn't think you would have the springs swapped yesterday...lol

 

 

I am not messing around its not a wiring harness

 

thats the ride hight i am looking for

 

set car down a little bit ago and didnt change anything i think ill cut 2 loops out if its to much i have a spare set if that doesnt work ill try drop spindals one way or another it coming down.

 

this is before i got frontend down ill post a new pic of frontend later its finaly where i wont it

 

Looks UNBELIEVABLE ! now wrap everything in bubble wrap. no throttle cable , its drive by wire, JOHN

 

Looks good Kevin,
I finally got my ride height correct this weekend. I ended up buying QA1 adjustable coil overs, the economy kit. I like the adjustability, but is it a bitch to turn. the kit doesn't even come with a wrench, i had to make my own.

I went with a Lokar pedal and cable to run my LS1 throttle body.

i think my ride hight is wright now as long as it dont set down to much after hood and bumper goes on. i cut 2 rounds out of bb springs. ill post new pics later in the week
