the ones that you insert between coils on your springs for added height (and stiffness??) --> do they work? do they work well? do they mess up alignments/springs/etc?
I'm tuckin' my rear wheels a little too hard and would like some clearance without changing out any springs.

they will work as long as you add 2 to each spring and mount them opposite of each other. however, i believe in your case you'll end up busting them. 1/20/2007 9:31:14 AM |

I've heard they're dangerous...you flex your suspension and they're likely to fall out. 1/20/2007 10:51:56 AM |

They can work, but you'll need an alignment. And yeah the taller they are the more dangerous. I will tell you my ball joints got all fucked up since there was almost no room to extend and on a down stroke the wheel assembly would bottom out even on normal roads, but thats for my truck. 1/20/2007 12:52:31 PM |

^Thats not what the original post was about. Hes talking about rubber inserts that go in the coils of the springs. Nascar uses them for mid race spring rate adjustments. 1/21/2007 12:43:24 PM |
