I would like to put 10" springs from q a1 on the rear of my car. My problem is, does anyone know what shocks I would be able to run. If I would run the stock shocks they would only have like an inch of travel before they bottom out. If someone knows of a shorter shock or anything else I could do. To get around this problem that would be great.. Thanks Joey...

10'' spring? you'll have to do more than just find a shorter shock.. what exactly are you doing?

I am trying to get the rear tire tucked up in the wheel well. I don't know if I did my math right, but now I have a 12" spring. I would just like to bring it down in the back. What else would need to be done to make this work?? Also if some of you could post some pics. Of car stance and spring your using that would be great. thanks Joey...

Easiest and cheapest route is to make a drop bracket for the shock spud.

Hello
Just another suggestion is go with a adjustable shock and then you will have not only the stance you are looking for but also so assistance with traction as well! If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad :mrgreen:

I checked the springs out that I have. I came up with a 12'' 200#. Now from what I have gathered 130# is about the ball park for a bu. loaded spring hieght on my spring is around 9''. What would it be on a 130# spring. If anyone could help me out on this, that would be great. Also is 130# spring the norm for a bu? or am I out to lunch on that one to??? Thanks joey...
