I've already cut the bushings and such. What is next? Do I need to buy a special set of bolts or can I just go to the local hardware shop and get what i need?

You're about to screw up the handling of that car dude!

Red5

When racing with Danny Popp I noticed that his car is about an inch lower. So is the ATI car. So there must be something to that.

There is......................

Vette Brakes made new front adjusters which help , and you need the 8" rear spring bolts...........Hope your shocks are set up for a low ride hieght.........Get sick of calling me today or what J/A.

take the adjusters completely out. Insert a thin sheet of plastic (like a vanity plate from WalMart) as bushing. If that isn't low enough, you need springs from Vette-brakes. Their springs aren't arched, so they give lots of lowering potential.

Rears, you just need longer bolts. You can go OEM style metric, or replace with grade 8 standard hardware

Sure...but please note all his comments. His is also cornerweighted, rake adjusted, sway bars zeroed, different shocks........etc, etc, etc.

Long while ago I slammed my car and drove it around the streets and it sucked. Even now with the VBP springs it is not slammed. I have problems with tire clearance. I I go off track with the splitter and it is super low good bye splitter

davidfarmer

he just asked how to do it. We can answer all of the other questions IF and WHEN he has problems......

John Shiels

better to try and avoid problems

Red5

Thanks for the help. FYI: I do have VBP springs on the car and the car is waiting to be dropped before I have it corner weighted balanced and re-aligned. My shocks are konis and they have been set for 1/2 lower than how the car is set up.
Does anyone have the dimensions of the longer bolts I need to buy? I know they have to be grade 8 and such but I don't know diameter, thread or length.

Thanks for the help.
