Front coil-over kits
I have the D&D Motorsports front coil-over kit and it seems to be a piece of crap. The spring is actually rubbing the acme threaded sleeve on the strut and making a terrible squeaking sound, not to mention it has actually worn the threads off a portion of the sleeve. I know that this is very bad for the springs and could eventually cause them to break, as well as introducing extra spring rate from the rubbing. I believe that the cause is the fact that the kit is 'universal', so the sleeve does not fit that tight over my Tokico 5-ways, allowing the spring to bow.
Can anyone who has front coilovers tell me how they like the brand they have? ------------------ 2000GT Atlantic Blue: Cobra R Wheels-17x9 255/40/17, 17x10.5 315/35/17, tubular K-member & control arms, Tokico 5-ways, coil overs, sway bars, strut/shock tower bars, 70mm FMS throttle body, Saleen nose. 79 Pace Car: Maximum Motorsports suspension - H&R Race springs, Bilsteins, rear control arms, chassis bracing, Draglites, 302 w/ Edelbrock Performer intake, cam and 600cfm carb, BBK equal-lengths & H-pipe, 2.5" Flowmaster 2chmbr exhaust, Al Driveshaft, 8.8 trak-loc, TCI C4 w/ 2000 stall, B&M |
