Just wondering what the interest would be if I were to make some spring cups out of aluminum instead of cutting your own cup(spring cup mod). I have actually come across some super dense plastic material to go between the spring and the cup. Let me know. Mike

 

Whats this for?

 

instead of cutting the spring mount to get an even drop, he will manufacture spring mounts that are the dimensions of a cut one.

sounds like a good idea.

 

true this way you can keep the factory ones.

 

good idea mike, let us know the progress

 

oh i see, sounds cool.

 

mike i am about to do the springmountmod to get about .5 inch more drop in the back. how do u plan on doing this???

 

btw mike, it's george with the dg coupe from the starbucks meets.

 

All my stuff is hard to explain bro. Its almost better if I do pictures while making them I'll post some up soon. Later mike

 

thats a good idea because i want to do the same thing !

 

this will allow owners to bring their cars back to stock without purchasing rear spring mounts...

 

Sounds like a great idea. Mike, I suggest you become a sponsor so you can circulate more interest in the products that you fabricate and have more resources available as a vendor. Just a thought

 

mike i will wait until you figure it out. but i suppose we will need to tell how how much of a drop we are looking for. it would be cool of you could make a base cup and .10" shims for adjustability.

 

Shims would be a cool idea but I would rather just make them the size you need. Here are some pics from the start. I basically took stock aluminum and lathed it down to basically retain the spring. I will figure out the diameter of the base and the thickness of the cup. After the last cuts I will sandblast them to give them the finish coat.

so mike, you'd be replacing this:



with a 2 peice setup which consists of a hard dense plastic sandwhiched in between your aluminum cup design and the spring, correct?
