bigboybanshee Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Looks good! Get you some aluminum stock (square tubing) and cut you a new strut. It's easy, works well, and you can cut it the length you need it. Don't cut the stock springs, once you do...that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster105 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 yea thats what i want but i was looking for somei could buy online already made not those lowering braces that only work on stocker a arms, i am right now 13in total length from the center of each eyelet, i am gonna lower the rear shock ride height and jus use that for the track think that will work ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 If you were going to strut anything you should strut the rear first, and I'd leave those struts where they're at up front, that's a good heighth. You lose a lot through weight transfer with a shock in the back. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BANSHEE-REA...sspagenameZWDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster105 Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 thanks for the site i getting the front and rear struts , the ones i have will not work b/c the heim joint are too long and bottom out in the upper mounts on the frame, making it so u cant run a bolt through the hole. i like those ones on ebay thanks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find it in the scraps section if lucky. Osh sells diff size heims really cheap & the local machine shop can thread the tube for you. It's looking fast already :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaster105 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 i jus bought the struts off ebay, i am gonna try both setups when i take it to the drag strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowriderb Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 another option for a lower front and not going to struts would be a pair of 300ex shocks.. those heims are huge on those struts.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
