    What is the frame that the engine and transmission bolt to called then if not a subframe?

    Engine cradle?

    I'm aware where the washers go, but I'm questioning if you HAVE to purchase them from the vendors instead of ordering a "cradle" washer.

    Yes I guess it's a cradle. A nova or a camaro is a "real" subframe car IMO.

    So what you're saying is that the vendor-labeled "Anti-pogo washers" are the same washers used where the cradle bolts up to the rest of the frame?

    Is anyone running those ? Have a review or pics ? They seem to have about the same drop as the Springtechs or very close to them within .1 inches on front and rear.

    Add the typical drop numbers in inches to the header for each section of pictures.

    Pictures can be deceiving.

    Umm, stock exhaust already hangs low IMO.

    My SD goose neck sits too low for me to consider lowering it.

    struts should be okay for a little while, but they wont last near as long as stock springs. the rubbing depends more on the wheel specs than the tire. if youre running stock wheels you should be more than okay considering the stock offset is pretty high.

    google it. youll find them somewhere.

    however, i dont know what you should do about the lowering vibration. your best bet would be to get some spacer plates to push everything back up to where its supposed to be. however, it depends on how harsh it is and how old your suspension and motor mounts are.
