You will not be able to tell the difference between the 800 and 850 when you are driving.

 

To recap: For the strong arm setup you use a 2.5" id 14"x650# spring and a 6.3 coilover? What is your current drop in the front? Great thread by the way needs to be a sticky......

 

Correct, I would estimate it at a 4" drop (w/spindles), had to lift it an inch from the previous set-up so I could park at work w/o dragging the frame

 

If you drag enough metal off the bottom, it will eventually clear
How is your current setup holding up? Do you have and pics of your current ride height?

 

Haha well I'm working on a better solution than that, so I'll have my cake and eat it too.

So here's the current ride hight, crappy pics but you get the idea:













Current set-up is holding up great, but I'm gong to change it up again, going to Shockwaves and bolt-in 4-link soon.

 

I just installed my setup yesterday. Stock everything with the 5.1 coilover and 850 spring. I had a 3 inch drop before and that's all I'm trying to get to again. I had to adjust the spring collar down about half inch from the bottom and I'm still only about 2 1/2 drop so my alignment is off and just wanted lower. Will a lighter spring help like just an 800? How far was yours adjusted in order to get the 3 inches of drop

 

I was on 4.1's to get a 3" drop, a softer spring won't fix that.

 

Was everything in your setup stock to get 3" of drop? I know you had spindles but everything else? The only part not stock is tubular up a arms but not sure that would effect the ride height otherwise I could go back to stock

 

Yea I had stock upper and lower control arms, spindles and was on 4.1's at a 5" drop total (w/o the spindles it would have been a 3" drop).

 

Do you think having the stock upper arms would make a difference versus the tubular ones? I'm not sure that's the only difference in mine though
