Alan- Do you have any rear spring shims for sale? I need to shim up both sides approx 3/4" to 7/8" on my LT1 car. I could use thinner shims and add them to what I already have, however, I would prefer a single thicker shim.

QUOTE (LS1Torq @ May 13 2014, 07:23 AM)  Alan, I am on Strano springs (550lb front) for now, but if I lower my rear roll center are any of these rear springs you have for sale a good match? Seemingly your selections are probably too stiff. What you think? -Brent C You'll want 250-350# in the rear, 11" pigtails with the LT1 perches. Larry got the only set that I had that would work for you. I do have several sets of LT1 rear upper perches left. $40/pair |

They are attached to the top of the LT1 perches. If you already have the perches, I'll make a single spacer to your spec, with holes drilled and countersunk. You'll just need to drill 3 holes into the top of your perch, I'll supply self tapping screws. They end up looking like this: (IMG:http://blainefab.com/projects/bfpics/IMG_0204.JPG) |

Time for the fall bump, and I found another pair of used springs - Eibach 0800.250.1200 - yes that's 1200# x 8" x 2.5" ID. $80/pair + $12 shipping via USPS Priority Mail.
(IMG:http://blainefab.com/projects/2016-08-16/1-001.JPG) I also still have the 14" long 150# and 175# springs, and the rear street springs from posts 1 and 2 of this thread. |
