Okay, I think I had a bad day. I have used Central Coasters, web, which is great. What I found is after Over researching, that the years of C4's are all a little different in design, springs etc etc and even the pad eyes on the end of the spring.
So what happened was the aluminum bracket that holds the spring up snapped when reinstalling it. OUCH.
Question that needs to be answered. Steve WTF did you do? Well the Vette was "lowered" by a friend years ago, 1997ish. He cut the rubber off of the spring, then used the aluminum spacer and cut the bracket down. Well, either it was never secured in there properly, or it was sandwiched better than the way the urethane blocks compressed, or shall I say barely compressed and it caused the bracket to snap. I was using a 3/8 drive, so not much torque.
Okay, Question #1
What is the original height of the bracket, before cutting?
Q#2
How much did you cut off of the bracket, either using the aluminum spacers or not, but definetly with the wedges glued on?
Q#3
Does the aluminum bracket touch the spacer when tightening?
Or is there a gap?
Q#4
In reference to #3, how much does the wedge and or rubber on the bottom of the spring "Compress" when tightened?
Q#5
The reason I put the spacer in today was because the spring was touching the center of the frame when snug, so does it re arch itself once the control arms are in place and the front suspension tightened back up?
