Default Gto spring blockers

Anyone have a set they want to sell? I did the cable mod today, but its a little excessive for my tastes as of right now. That, and the one track we go to most frequent has an *** load of bumps, which will be pretty literal with this cable mod, lol. I can fell every little ding in the road, Haha. Thanks. At least the mod was cheap enough that I could forget about it until I go to the smooth track, lol.

Good luck man. They are the white buffalo of the internet.

Could buy rear coil overs if you really want some good traction...

Wow, I would love coil overs, but they aren't on my to do list yet. I will eventually get them though. I didn't have any problems with my current suspension, so i will try to ride it out. I'm surprised nobody has tried to replicate the gto blocker idea, doesn't seem like it would be tough to create, and they seem popular enough.

Could probably.make them out of poly, would just need a mold and all that jazz...
I still say save up and stiffen up the rear suspension but if not, the cable mod seems to work but like you said its a little extreme.

I searched and searched for the GTO spring blockers with nothing. I found it odd that as popular, or as, HIGHLY recommended as they are, that they were unfindable.

I finally found 2 pair. Worth their weight in gold lol.

Haha, nice. Ya, I will probably save up for a pair of coil overs. I'm getting ready to buy a winter beater so i don't have to drive mine in the snow/salt, which will give me a chance to go more work on the car.

The gto blockers will not work with lowering springs. At least on my monte carlo they do not. Cable mod is somewhat dangerous. I don't trust it anymore at the mph I'm running in the quarter. Going to coilovers.
