Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low Part II, gathering coilover parts
Finally got some time to work on the struts when it wasn't 100*+ Got one finished up. Gonna start on another here soon.
Pix of course
This one is finished besides paint. Still don't have the rear sleeves yet. This sleeve is a bit short but you get the idea.
And a couple of side by sides.

Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low Part II, gathering coilover parts
Anyone know of a sway bar link that's around 6" from stud to stud? I was lookin at doing heim joints but its gonna run close to 100 bucks for the parts to make 2 links. If I can find a shorter sway bar link that'd be better cause I can get a sway bar link for under 20 bucks probably

Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low Part II, gathering coilover parts
I might just cut the factory end link and shorten it and have a guy I know reweld it.
Switching gears. I tried that other tape I got. It's got a damn good hold but it's too wide and doesn't allow the rail to sit down in the channel properly so consequently it can't grab that good. Soooo...tonight I tried some 3m plastic adhesive that I found layin in my tool box. It kind of works, but it's too thin and it can't make up for the gab between the rail and the channel very well.
SOOOOOOOO. I think I figured out what I'm going to use, window weld winshield urethane. It's thick and can make up the gap, it's strong as hell. Should work.

Re: Marofan's "GTX"...Going low Part II, gathering coilover parts
Thanks guys!
It's not that low. I can go about an inch lower yet. But I'll only drop maybe another 1/4" or so.
As far as ride its not bad at all. It really rides the same. The only time I really notice it is when I hit a pretty big dip. But I have no complaints yet.
