(06-07-2020, 10:43 AM)Greazzer If you decide to cut the springs remember it’s around a 2:1 ratio. So if you cut 1/2” inch you’ll be lowered an inch or a smidge more. I suggest getting all 3 sizes of rubber shims and cut 1/2” inch max to see what it does or 1/4” and use your shims as a guide
Greazzer, im not sure I follow the ratio, which would be the 2 and which is the 1?
Also, arent there mixed reviews about spring cutting? which is why I wasnt opposed to spending the money on lowering springs, but if I can figure out the cutting I could do that to!
Im dropping the front subframe hopefully today. I bought an engine support bar at HF the otherday with a 20% off coupon. With the subframe out of the way, I should have a better view of everything below. I can already tell I need to replace the oil pan gasket and the oil pan plug, theres oil everywhere.
I also found the culprit of the "fuel starvation" issue I may have mentioned before, a major reason the previous owner decided to sell it.
They replaced all the fuel hoses, but they bought clear hose, which I am not sure this particular hose was designed for fuel as the otherday, when it was hot and I was in the engine bay, the fuel lines wiggled about becuase they expanded and let in a ton of AIR! I should mention there are no fuel hose clamps anywhere....so that might be another reason.
