you buy fronts
well i was at the auto place yesterday and they said that for the rear of a car there is only eye/eye for both the 80's model and the 90's onwards model, so what they hell do i do?
you buy fronts
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ke70dave @ Jun 26 2008, 10:34 AM) </div>i have 170mm in the front of my car, its not that low. i can either go lower or add more track... then flaring and lower again...
I've got 200mm on the back and sierras keep them very captive....
But you also have no droop...

the spring pre load on them isnt that bad,
there actually around 185mm and yes they are compressed but only minimally.
Not so much the pre load, the fact that the wheel will run out of travel when it wants to fall in to larger bumps and holes.

Just read through all these pages... what seems to be the general summary as to what to use? I'm not planning on a super low or stiff car just want some decent handling and slideability. Ive got a set of Sierras but i doubt i'll use them, they look to me to be far too short and will have no droop as mentioned.
Oh and a word about 505 pug shocks... i tried them years ago when i had one of my sprinters, bought new KYB "sports" ones and they fitted awesome.. however they were way way way too stiff and i had no suspension travel at all, springs were only 4kg springs too but the rear just bounced all over the road. I took em straight out lol.
Id go 5kg rears with KYB excel g short strokes or trd blue short strokes if you can afford.
