I want to go this route, but need to know who sells them? I've been unable to find it on the net. (for a SC front suspension)
Also, how difficult is it to do on your own and how exactly is it done? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Does any one have any detailed pics of a raised spindle shock/strut? |

JP my friend has the Fox shocks, they are the shizzle. a bit out of my price range though.
To raise the spindle on 911 struts you need to drill out the rosette weld on the spindle, then just tap the spindle up the tube the amount you want. Then reweld the spindle in its new location. Its also a good idea to weld little gussets in while your at it. Like Jereon mentioned heat the steering arms and bend them down the amount you raised the spindles.. Its really not a big deal, you need a welding machine, drill and torch. |
