Springs

[GT Rob]

Ordered some springs from 5.0 retro so I installed the rear ones on saturday it doesn't look like it drop any what's up with that dose it take time to settle down or did they send me the wrong ones this weekend I'll do the fronts if I don't have to send them back

It does take time for them to settle but not sure why they would look exactly the same as your previous spring?

What did you have before and what did you go to?

Leave the ISO's off if you are looking to get lower.

would help if you told us what springs they are. usually when you install them your car will be initially lower than stock. than settle a bit more in a few Weeks. that has been the case for all my spring installs.

The sve springs are the worst drop ever

 

[GT Rob]

There LRS springs 2 inch drop I had the stock springs

 

[HuskerGT]

The sve springs are the worst drop ever

Why do you say that? I like the idea of a shorter spring that has the stock spring rate. Progressives are good too, don't get me wrong, but I don't autox to be able to feel the full effect of what they are designed for. I put my sportlines on for a lowered stance.

I think you won't get the full effect of the stance until you put the fronts on. I don't really think they'll settle much since they are a specific-rate spring.

Did you measure ride height before? Also did you place the stockers & new springs next to each other to see how much shorter the new ones were? And lastly, I think they have to be positioned correctly when installing. Something about the bottom pigtails facing the driver (?) I'm not sure, so don't quote me. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime on clocking the springs.

 

[GT Rob]

Yes I was wondering the same thing HuskerGt about the pig tail

false

 

[HuskerGT]

false

Agreed. From my research, people that have them love them.

 

[Ferocious]

The sve springs are the worst drop ever? WTF!??!
Sure they don't improve your ride quality, but hell my sve springs lowered my car 2.08"!

 

[mygreengt]

i loved mine. the only reason im not getting them for the mach, is because they are softer than the stock springs.

My front already has a drop way of some cut springs I bought off of somebody off this site but going to install the front ones this weekend if anything I'll take the rear iso out
