need help on spacers!!!

[sir21]

I cut half a coil in the front and i shaved down the rear upper seat cushion for the spring. A little more then half i cut on the seat spring cushion.

Is there a DIY on how to do that? Also can you post a pic of the stance? I know, too busy to search for it. Thanks.

Here is the look/stance.



As for cutting the spring, cutt half a coil (half of a circle) from the bottom of the spring for the front. For the rear, when you take out the spring there will be a big bushing on the top that comes out with the spring. Take off that bushing and cutt the top in half. When your done cutting it in half, your gona use the lower half with the cone shaped portion for reinstallation. There is a pic i'll find for you somewhere here on the forum. I know rookie posted a pic of it cutt in half.

Thanks Dracula. How bad is the camber after the 1/2 cut/shave? Any rubbing (20mm spacers)

I HIGHLY recomend that use the factory upper bushing and NOT a lower seat cushion on the top. I read and read through the forums and it was said to use the lower seat bushing on topfor the extra drop. Your rear spring will come out of place from a good bump and may shift. It has happened to me where the spring shifts and want's to come out of the upper seat. I took it apart three times thinking i did something wrong but i didn't. The factory upper mount has that cone for a reason. To keep your spring from shifting around. Just cut the rear upper spring bushing in half and use the lower half with the cone shape. It's not a good feeling thinking that your rideing ok and come to realize your spring almost popped out. Only thing that saved me one night was the rear upper control arm. Spring shifted and was hitting against that. I dunno how the rest of you guys are driveing like that with a lower seat bushing on the top for the extra drop. If so please check your rear springs. Please use the factory upper bushing and cut that in half with the cone shaped end for safety.

Isnt it the way it's supposed to be? I haven't heard anyone using the lower bushing on top. Like this:

Exactly. If you read around some people have done it.
