DoBro Jesus Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Just trying to get ideas on how to get my sigma low as it sits way too high, never wanna go back to cobras or king springs as their "super low" are really never that low, it's an 81 sedan with the Sohc 4g63, any ideas? Cheaper the better, cheers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb drifter Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 starion struts and brakes in front, superlow e30 bmw springs minus 1 coil, will be captive. what i had in my wagon, rear will be different to sedan but try ex lancer superlow springs possibly? i used r32 superlows minus 1 coil in my sedan but were uncaptive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will i am Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 shorter shocks in the rear, cut rear springs or compress. cheapest way angle grinder all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoBro Jesus Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Station gear fit in all sweet? How much shorter are starion shocks than sigma ones? Yeah I'd rather cut than compress cause of the shit stories I've heard that springs are way weaker after compressing etc, asked around and best price I've got so far is 1100 for a full set of shortened shocks, is that too much?

rb drifter Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 too me that sounds expensive but i am a cheap person. could almost buy adjusties for that much. cant remember how much shorter but i think i had a comparison photo on my wagon build thread ill try find a link. and starions have better brakes so i think its a good upgrade, i paid $250 for a pair of front starion struts with brakes springs etc in good condition just to give you idea what theyre worth.

DoBro Jesus Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 yeah was thinking after our wee chat at the meet today just lopping off a couple of coils temporarily and getting a spare set for warrants, anyone have spring compressors?

DoBro Jesus Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 yeah i was just thinking that after i posted haha, what are the legalities if i got my shocks shortened and had cutties so their captive? also i got air shocks in the rear, what's the deal with them, can you just deflate them to possibly make them more captive? i don't have a clue about them as i've never had them in a car before....
