Spring/height adjusters
(Copied from the autox/rr section: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...two-types.html)
The stock ones are torn up and must be replaced:
I own new sets of both the hardbar/vansteel units as well as the zip poly pads (these are curved unlike the wcc and eibach ones)
hardbar bolts supposedly wear pockets in the aluminum arms - I purchased a roll of 20 gauge hardened stainless steel to make plates to go in the contact areas (and jb weld them in place), but Im not sure if the steel will wear out the delrin really quickly
the poly pads supposedly fall off or wear off from various brands but I havent heard anything bad about the zip ones - additionally Id bond the pads to the bolts with this stuff: http://www.westsystem.com/ss/g-flex-epoxy/
Which to go with or any other ideas with the parts I have on hand?
I have kevlar and can use that if necessary (thought about possibly covering the a arm contact patchs with a triple layer of laminated 6oz kevlar for reduced friction and wear)
thanks!
