help me with probs on superlow and jacking up?

[timmy_tam]

i just put in superlows all round, and now i have the problem where if i jack it up, the wheel doesn't rise up until you jack it up really high

i guess i need shortened shocks, but i heard you only need shortened shocks for ultra lows, not super

also, the springs fall out when i jack it up, which could be an issue in an emergency
any ideas aside from new shocks?



also, what is this part? its connected to nohting


and are these bushes ###ed?


THANKS!

Bushes screwed, and get short shocks.

just get the monroe shocks for cars with fe2 suspension. i have them in mine, with ultras and the springs dont fall out

the part that "connects to nothing" is your bump stops, you need them, so the axle doesnt bash the chassis.

yep, those bushes are stuffed, theyre mainly there to keep the spring from moving around and scraping the chassis making rotten noises and wearing the metal away.

thanks for the quick replies
will check out some new bushes, as i have been hearing clunks and thunks while turning and coming to stops
probabbly the bushes

will check out new shocks, but i was led to believe only ultra lows needed shortned shocks

wrong info?

definately wrong info. lows you can get away without short shocks, but superlows and lower, generally need shorter shocks.

the fact that you yourself can see the springs fall out when its jacked up tells you that you need short shocks.

King Springs reccomend shortened shocks be fitted with even Low Springs, let alone superlows and lower.
