Ok right now i have a set of coil overs on my car and i want to go back to just lowering coil springs what pieces do i need to to make the lowering springs work? I threw away the dust boot and every other peace i didnt need when installing the coil overs.
well it depends... most coilover installs don't have the big spring perches, so long you have the spring perches on the struts basically just swap the mounts, the rubber sping insualtor on the bottom and the bust boot/bump stop
you will pretty much need the complete strut mount, i did the same thing and didn't get all the parts i needed, caused so many problems it was unreal.... then i found out that i was missing a few parts on the mount, so i just went to a junk yard and got the complete front strut assembly, the rear you don't need anything different... but i would suggest on gettin the dust boots or atleast some bump stops in there.
I dont have the rear spring perch at all. The only stuff i swapped over was the bump stops and the mounts. I guess ill be looking for some used struts at the salvage yard to. If any one has a old set they need to get rid of let me know or all the old stuff ill need for going back to lowering springs hit me up with a email.
Does any one have skunk 2 coil overs with koni yellows? Well i have the skunk 2 coil overs right now with out the yellows and was woundring how is the ride? If i cant get all the parts to go back to springs then thats the ride im going to be going with.
Skunk 2 = garbage
throw them away and start over from scratch
What did every one use to install there lowering springs? Whats parts? Im going to a salvage yard this weekend hopfully and i need to know what ill all need. Any pictures would be helpfull if u have them of when u did you install would be helpfull.
the same parts on every suspension.... springs are 1 single part with no moving parts... its just a bent peiece of metal, you don't need anythgin else to install a spring other then a spring
you'll need other pieces too like spring seats and bumpstops
Thats pretty much whats its come down to so im going out this weekend to a salvage yard to get a few things. Thanx for the help.......
