CJ Pony Springs - PP GT (partial) PICS!

[w4fang22]

Found some free time to install the fronts of my CJ Pony springs on my GT PP.
I know CJ has pics of their project car with the springs installed, but I figured there are many of you that would like to see them with PP wheels.
Only had time to install the fronts, but the stance already looks so much better. Rear will get installed as soon as I have some time.
Rated: 1.5" front and 1" rear.
Pretty straight forward install, although Bill Tumas made it really easy in his install video...it's not as easy as that looked. Haha

Make sure you have your Thor hammer handy for the strut bolts on the bottom!!

Definitely will be looking into 25mm spacers as well...it'll really make the stance "pop."

PICS..

The biggest PITA were the strut bolts on the bottom...I wasn't kidding when i said have your Thor hammer ready. Find the heaviest, compact hammer you can get your hands on. I deformed one of the lugs/bolts and had to run to ACE to get a temporary replacement.

So far, I do like the ride height a lot better. Ride quality is about the same. Looks TONS better. I think I will be able to have a better idea when i get the rear springs on.

The car does look much better. But 1.5 inch drop will really change the suspension geometry. I am guessing you will need set of steeda bump steer correction kit. This is from my experience on all the cars that I had and were lowered. The car felt tighter but going over bumps the steering got pretty loose and had way too much play in it even after getting the car aligned. I love to drop my PP also, But I am afraid of the drawbacks.

Guess time will tell as i driver her more. So far feels great. Same drop as eibach sport lines in the front, and people that have those installed haven't reported any problems..
