    You ever plan or are you running headers ? Don't get shorter dog bones.


    Get Vinnie spacers instead.

    Vinnie spacers are a better solution.

    You put them underneath and on top of the motor mounts and to raise the engine and correct the geometry of the cv axles so when you lower it your not putting any more stress on them.

    This is the better solution then running shorter dogbones.

    Pretty decent drop when compared to stock GXPs. I imagine the drop would be about the same for a 97-03' GP.

    Ooh, I wasn't aware Canuck no longer sold them. I only got my springs on sale back in August. Must've been a runnout special, they were super cheap.

    both delco #'s are in that Amazon post I made,I snagged the #s from rockauto.
    You are going to want to PM Vinnie about spacers, he might not have any made now.
