Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
So for my 315's since they rubbed, i ordered new bump stops, and extenders. But where can i find Spring adjusters? they go on the axle and Into the springs. anyone know where? a few members on here have it. heres a picture.
That stuff looks like a band aid fix for another problem.
The photo above looks like added spacer to compensate for a week spring rate.

Where are the 315's rubbing ?
Most people have issues with them rubbing on the bumpstop or inner wheel well. In which case you need the Bumpstops relocated and the BFH mod

I agree with Craig I've never heard of people even using those ever, just move the bumpstops and hammer away, otherwise you may have the wrong offset wheels.

Its rubbing BARELY on the inner wheel well, that and i don't like how the car sits at all. I want my car higher up in the rear maybe and inch or 2
What is this bfh mod? i'll do what is ever necessary i'd really like to use my 315's again so i can finally get rid of my 285 wheels and tires.

Those are adjustable Spring Cups.. Circle track racers use them to adjust ride hieght in corners as well as weight transfer.
Lane Automotive ( if still open) will have them

That is the only way to get it to stop rubbing the inner wheel well. Remove tire, hit the spot that its rubbbing, and spray some coating where you knocked it all off. This is the accepted way of getting 315s to fit, even on ls1tech. I would say that the other way you are thinking of doing it would be the more "backyard work" style.

hmmm well i can try and make it look professional and not like some kid did it lol. then ill por it like i did the whole wheel well.
Not much of a difference considering no one will actually see the adjustment made by the hammer.
On a side note you should probably look into an adjustable panhard bar also. Since the larger wheels and tires will pronounce the left side bias these cars have.
