I've been thinking about buying these. I know there is a thread. about them. However I was wondering if anyone had pictures of a 'rauder lowered with them.

Thanks,
Sam

Good idea,

How would I go about this.

And does anyone have any pictures of there cars lowered?

i know others will chime in with pictures.

as far as doing it well its not that hard. pull the shock n spring assay out then go to auto zone and they will rent you (for free with a refundable deposit) a shock spring compressor. remove spring from assy, then go directly down from the end of the existing coil and give it a snip. with a friend you can do it in a few hours. just be carefull with the spring tool

I have a spring compressor.

I'm just not sure where to cut the spring...

ok well where the first coil ends go straight down n cut it. in other words when you cut it, should should end up with a "circle" in your hands
