  • double is adjustable on car, just loosen the jamb nuts and turn. Single you have to drop one side down adjust and then push the body over to start the bolt back in, not a big deal I just want everything as easily adjustable as possible, also not going to use aluminum after discussing with madman.

    • Honestly I haven't scaled my car - if I had to guess around 3700 with me in it. It's full weight only air/egr/front sway removed. 9", spoon drag bar, 6 point mild steel bar, quicktime bellhousing more than make up for that weight.

I'm not looking to have a car with a sponge for front suspension, then again like I said I just told the dude my set up and he's putting what he thinks is best for me, th

                Entirely different. Your coil spring is in a not in the same location relative to the pivot point (a arm bushing) as theirs.

                        Nah he meant 175's. It was easier to bounce with the hydraulics that way!

                          • so por-15 or chassis saver? looking to brush it on while I have the tank and rearend out now is the time just need to run to the store and grab one or the other. Opinions?

                            Also got a few more parts in the mail and one on order but I think our next big step is getting with Brett and going over the entire fuel system and having them do the lines and fittings for us.

                            • Is it being brushed onto actual rust parts or just surface rust? I actually think I'd go with chassis saver over the por15.

                              • this is very minimal rust currently, just looking to coat the undercarriage so it looks better than the current state of factory overspray and dullness and future rust prevention is always a plus.
