I always replace the hardware unless it looks to be of quality. You had a bad run. I wouldn’t exclude them entirely because of the fact. Now if it happens again then yes. Plaster them everywhere conceivable. Taking chances is just part of it in this game. We live and we learn.
Idk man. I feel like I’m still going to order from them. Granted they may delete reviews as most folks probably do but, a review that’s on a year old part doesn’t really hold much weight in my book. It does suck you’ve had to deal with it but at the same time things do happen. They covered their...
My car wouldn’t know what to do if it sat all winter. I’m more than certain it would miss its snow plow job. Rain, sleet, snow or shine. My 17 GT sees it all. Price you pay for a daily I reckon.
I’m running OEM gt350 wheels on my 17 GT. I initially had 295/35s on the front and it was hitting the coilover. When I was in springs alone I was just using a camber bolt and that was fine. With the coilovers though it was not. I had to go to a 285/30 in the front leaving the camber bolt and...
OEM GT350 wheels on 17 GT premium. Planning on upgrading to the gt350 brakes as well to push the rear wheel out proper. Spacers just aren’t my thing and it’s hard to go wrong with OEM+. Just my opinion.
The car is also badgeless. Not making a clone. Lol
Don’t get me wrong the car looks great and the raked look works but imo I just feel if it were just a little less rake.
A decent example is mine in the photo. Idk what to call it except a lowered rake. Lol
I totally get this. It really is becoming a huge PITA. I may spring for another setup or go air ride. Until then I’ll just continue to beat my head against this dilemma until something is figured out.
So essentially what you’re saying is that a $1000 set of coilovers is cheap for a daily driver? Interesting. My car doesn’t need “top of the line” parts to get beat up with rigors of daily abuse. Now if I bought let’s say a $400 set of coilovers and expected the world, which I don’t even with my...
So upon pulling the shock out the control actually raised roughly a quarter inch meaning if the car was in the ground it would have gotten lower that roughly quarter inch.
Bushings bound up?
You’re not wrong. Without putting them in some form of gauged press I won’t know the exact spring rate. I had sportlines on my car for a while and as mentioned before Eibach is good about putting what’s they are on the spring.
Im going to do this tomorrow at the current height and see if the car moves at all. If so I’ll know then and there I had a bushing that wasn’t happy.
I know I lowered the cradle for the final install I just can’t remember if I was being lazy and just unbolted camber and control arms to try and squeeze it in there. I understand what you’re saying about the stroke of the shock but the body of the shock can either be lengthened or shortened...
Now when you say bushings pre-loaded at ride height, are you saying the ride height any other than where the car is lowered to or are you saying they’re preloaded to where the car is now? My apologies for not understand clearly.
Spring setup is from manufacturer. I have no real way to test equal spring rate unfortunately. Kinda left that in their hands to do it right. I’m going to redo and see if the aforementioned above is the case. It’s the only thing at this point that makes real sense.
