It does suck balls. And btw, it's paint. Pretty easy to undo if I don't like it. I have a stock pile of flat black spray paint from the pos car.

I'd rather get one that's all intact and ready to go. Instead of looking around for parts and driving to pick them up.

Well, you said that you wanted to swap shells, so swap over whatever you can from your vert, and find the little bits that would be left.

Dan,

I have pulled all of the collars out of my coils and swapped to a set of smaller lower mounts, lowered the car about 1.5" now I cant turn. I am done fucking with it today, I will add 2 collars tomorrow, and see what happens then.

Heres some pictures of everything.

Oh and Tim, that clearance issue I had was fixed by new bolt holes on the camber plates.

My clearance


old camber plates, notice ~1/2" extra that I couldn't use because of the bolts


New camber plates


new mounts(right) compared to old(left)

You could always get a pair of shorter springs. SPLparts is a dealer for Swift springs. You might even be able to switch to a 2.25 ID spring if your shock body allows it so you gain more wheel clearance like Tims JIC's.

Inner clearance isn't an issue anymore, now I'm dealing with not being able to turn on 17x9 +20 with 225/45. I may drop down to 225/40 or 215/45 like I used to run, but for now Ill raise it up high enough to turn.
