pusherman Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 i would definately cut the tubes and get shorter shocks pretty much follow seedys tech article. i dint cut my escort tubes down and resulted in 4x4 spec and captive or not aslow as i hoped and uncaptive with the springs wound all the way down. im now going to pull apart again and cut tubes + get shorter struts. i generaly do things 4-5 times before they are right ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
