Stock struts have 7.25" of strut travel - 1" for bump stops - 5" = 1.25" of strut travel left.

1.25" of strut travel on stock struts with soft springs, you have to be hitting some bump stops.

There's nothing intellectual about cutting your springs. Now if you lowered your shock and rewelded it in the perch and than made custom mounts to lower it more without affecting strut travel and spring travel then that would be an awesome build

So I looked and I didn't really find much info on my question. I'm still having vibration problems when driving around and I already have the Vinnie spacers. I know my motor mounts are probably shot but has anyone ever had the spacers and shorter dogbones at the same time?

**Bio248** · 08-22-2013

You could probably get away with that without any issues.

**Bakerdd** · 08-22-2013

okay cool, I'll probably try it out

What? Do the right thing and replace your mounts first. Your throwing away money with shorter dogbones when you already have spacers.

I was just gonna cut up my stock ones and not spend anything on them. Im just really looking for a quick fix right now since school is back in.

No need for cutting you can drill your stock dog bones and grind them on the back that way you have a option to go back.

I did it to my old sets just in case.

okay cool, thanks man

So im looking at lowering. i was looking at the coils thru zzp. But then i was just looking at eibachs. now a few people say eibachs ride a lot harder than coils and vice versa. Id like to hear opinions

1) don't buy from ZZP. they are a second hand dealer for these coils:

W-Body Products |

buy from there.

2) eibachs are the only progressive lowering spring for the wbody. they are not harsh. i had them.

3) coils will automatically ride better than all lowering springs so long as they are spec'd correctly (correct strut valving, spring rate, strut shaft stroke, etc.).
