Kind of hard to tell from the pics, but looks way better in person.

Before.



After.

 

whats the hose mod i have no idea about it

 

You got hosed!!! LOL, I dunno what it is either.

 

Really???

 

You lift the rear, let the axle drop, notice the tops of the springs are set into this big *** doughnut shaped rubber thang, get rid of that, as it's pretty thick, cut a length of water hose and wrap it around the spring coil, that gives padding to the spring without that extra rubber, so the rear end sits lower.

 

Okay, not necessarily "wrap" it around the coil, think of that cut piece of waterhose as a "sock" and put it on the first spring coil and there you go.

 

Much better........still sits 4x4 ish though.

 

beautiful looking car one suggestion though, replace those u clamps with Band clamps

 

o true just learned something

 

One MAJOR note on this mod that nobody mentioned....make sure you use RUBBER hose not vinyl as ALOT of hoses are made of vinyl!!!

 

Looks good. Sits much better now. How about a side shot the stance of the ride now.

On the tips you mean they are band clamps.

 

I'm sure thats what he ment cause I noticed that too. just make sure the threaded end of band clamp is on top of exh-tip. 12 O'clock position.....

couple of questions ..........

the thread mentions water hose ... water hose as in garden hose, or water hose as in heater hose??

this drops the rear by an inch or so? it would be good to see a side picture, in order to see the rear in relation to the front.

i have to replace my shocks all the way around soon, so i might try this mod. is there a similiar mod for the front end?

thanks

bill

 

I think most people use heater hose, but some use garden hose.

 

I got a 1/2" drop with the hose mod. I got 3/4" drop in the front, with the Koni SA's set on the lower perch. For me, it's just right. Not lowered by any means, but much better.

 

Did you just do the rear hose mod without touching the front, if so how does it look. I was thinking of just doing the rear hose mod to level the stance.

 

do you have to remove the spring or can it be done with the spring still in place?

 

now bergerize that rear panel and it will be perfect

 

where can i get tips like that?
