what backspace do you have? in your sig pic it doesnt look like your rears will "tuck"

[ThreeHonks]

5.5" backspacing on an 8" rim (generic 4th gen backspacing). I am not looking to really lower the car in the back right now, just the front. I need my fenders rolled before I can think about the rear

[1BADAIR]

these v6 fronts may work well. i will check the rate tommorrow after work.

OK cool thanks. send me a PM with what you think! You dont happen to have the V6 rears too do you?

[1BADAIR]

no. thats why i have the front. used qa1 front and the v6 rear lowering in another project.(before the cutting idea started).

Oh i see. Have you ever cut down the front springs?

[1BADAIR]

no.
they are H&R sport v6's. just ran out the the shed in my banana hammock and grabbed one.
is your engine in? if so come get emm and give them a try

yeah the engine is in. and i might just have to do that. I will get your advice on how to take that damn stock spring out too. thanks Larry!

have they been out? the top nut sucks. may need new top mounts. sometime you have to cut the nut off. When i put them in I pack the mount with grease or antiseize so they will come back out again someday

No they havent... and I have seen the nut before and it didnt look good...

[1BADAIR]

yeah. they suck. my car saw rain once and it was rusted. probably gonna damage the mount getting it off without hurting the strut rod

Just cut the springs if you wanna stay cheap.

Save for some Strange or AFCO's. You dont need them to hook per say. Your car might be "Hooking" already but going with a nice set of double adjustables will allow you to dial down your 60' even more.
