Front Coil Springs

[Squid4life]

It's not as bad as it looks in my pictures. Maybe only 1" less ground clearance than a stock a-arm. My car was extremely low when I took that picture. This might give a better idea.

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Thanks for the help Mike!

Scot,
I saw those in some other posts and looked them up. They are a few hundred $ more, but I know that Ridetech is nice stuff. But, I always pictured Ridetech as more Protouring type parts and not so much drag race parts. Correct me if I am wrong. I mean, you would think a coil over is a coil over, but I always associated them with cars like yours and not skinny tire 90% straightline cars... Also, I am trying to picture how it looks installed and how you would make the adjustments on the top knob. (or is that pic just a random one?)

Who knows when I will actually get around to doing the front. One little part needing replaced (in my case shocks, with a little lower ride height) snowballs into upper and lower tubular arms, coil overs, etc. Gets pricey in a hurry! And the damn car isn't even on the road yet!

Here is are a couple pictures showing the front shock adjustment knob on a customers Monte Carlo SS, they are pretty accessible in there stock locations.


A Coil-over is just a Coil-over, it doesn't know what application it is being used for.... The adjustability is the key when it comes to ANY application whether it be Handling or Drag Racing. The same coil-over can be used for either, it's the settings that will be totally different. The top adjustment knob on the Front ridetech coil-overs is actually pretty nice because it sticks through the upper a-arm and is pretty easy to get to for adjustments. I have a picture but I will have to find it...

They are a couple hundred $ more but you get what you pay for when it comes to coil overs. FOX racing has been around a very long time with coil-over shocks and now the two companies have teamed up to put that technology into vehicles! We just wanted to let it be known there is another alternative.
