How to install GC Coilovers (w/pics)
 
I made a crude page on how to install a set of GC or lowering springs.

Thanks, I really needed that.

Why did you have to cut the bump-stop in half?

Mac Daddy July-14th-2002 10:26 AM

If not when you lower your car it will more likely ride on those stops. The GC instructions advices to do so.

I have updated the page to show the rear install :)

Thanks bro,
I'm about to install GC coilovers on my ride and you made it very easy to do so. Would you or are you going to cut the excess material from the lower spring perches. I think if you do you could run a little wider tire, right?
Again thanks,

Mac Daddy July-19th-2002 12:02 AM

You know, I thought about that, but I am just waiting for some real coilover set up or maybe an air-bag set up. But I bet it will look better cut up.

Thanks,
I'll probably cut mine down and try a set of 215 width tires
