gears and springs

Looks like it sits nice how it is now.


ivan: really bad body mounts. The body will randomly move back and forth on the frame almost an inch side to side. Some days its centered, some days the right wheel is almost an inch closer to the outer edge of the fender than the left. You also have much higher rate springs than I do. Mine are 425 in/lb, and aren't yours in the 1000 range? That will make a large difference in the amount of wheel travel.

1 Full coil will drop it quite a bit and stiffen it even more. I'd start with 1/2 a coil. Easier to remove than add....

Oh yeah, forgot about yer body monuts issue, and the springs are like 1050 or so, and I absolutely hate them right now - there will be a thread about that soon.

True, true... I think a half coil would do it, it is leveling itself out, infact it has it's rake back!!

I'll repost some pics or something before I put it away for winter in a week or so to verify...

what car did you get the 3.55 gear form or will any rear gear form an 8.8 axel work?

murph: toldyaso

relik: any 3.55 ring and pinion for an 8.8 rear will work fine.

Yea yea yea, lol.

It did level out some before I put it away tho... not as much as I'd like, but maybe more will happen when I start driving it again in spring...
