SN00P's DIY spring mount MOD w/ before and after pictures
 

first time ever doing this cause i normally get the right springs/coils :bowrofl: lol jk Harvey :biggthumpup:

now this is the rubber cone thats sits on top of the rear springs/coils. its about 3/4'' think and what i did was cut it flush to where the cone started to go up.

take that to a VISE and put the rubber cone inside.. like so....

now get your handy dandy SAW SAW and start cutting it. i used a metal blade and it worked great .. this is what it should look like ...

after you cut and rotate the rubber cone around you should have a result like this ...

after the install of the modified rubber cone your car should have dropped about 3/4'' and should sit like this :biggthumpup:

thank you ever for takin the time and viewing my DIY spring mount mod

nice write up! :biggthumpup:

i have mine cut but it doesnt look that low how come ??

depends how much was cut out from it .. i cut the most YOU can do.. it may go lower after it settles in and will have to adjust the coils up now ...

i tried to get away with using the rubber cone like i did on my sedan but i could almost pull the coil out from the car LOLOL ... but i said lets do this and i went in the back and started cutting .. everything came out awesome

thanks it was my 1st ever write up :biggthumpup:

I will be doing this soon to a members ride! have done this a couple of times now!!! have thought about finding some sets and cut them in different sizes and sell them on here and charge a core as well! got to love the SAW ZAW!!! makes it a breeze

lol it sure does !!! slices right thru without a problem :-) also thats a good idea about that .. im sure people don't have access to tools and stuff and would just get some pre made .. props on the idea

^ yssir, much easier than the hacksaw

yeah I am also working on getting LCA's and having bushings pressed for those who dont have access to a press and will sell them. majority will be whiteline bushings along with Energy Suspension bushings so they have the option to choose......If someone wants SPL they can pay me to order them and I will press them in and ship them out..I wont stock SPL since they are expensive.

lol i wouldn't have even tried

thats money right there :biggthumpup:

yeah its money but think it would serve a huge purpose that know how to install majority of the items but cant get the bushings done because its there daily etc....also wont charge Stealership prices to have this accomplished

Oh man Harveys car looks awesome!

lol those wheels are sold !! hes getting his vossen's i think put on very very soon :-) we were getting it ready

Thanks again Snoop.

welcome man !!! im always down to help g club guys :-)

looks so much better now :-)
