Subject: question about spring retainer length when lowering? by turbotim23 on 2009/12/2 23:34:53 Hi i cut my spring rubbers off before the lowering wedges came, when I got wedges it said to measure rubber before and after to know how much to shorten alum. spring retainers. I guessed but ended up to short and one broke setting the car on ground. First does anyone know part no. for the alum spring retainer? second any of you who have dropped their car with the wedges. What length did you end up on the retainer. Did it look like it was even with top of wedge or slightly less to kind of preload the spring in a little [Say 1/8"]? Part of the problem is car is an inch different in height side to side[ground to fender lip]. The front spring looks not centered.It's like 1/4" to 3/8" pushed to the drivers side. If I die grinded the spring retainer bolt holes more to pass side, do you think this would center spring and possibly drop drivers side height? Thanks Tim |
