bbeast Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I'm having a hard time finding any pics of a LGT Sedan which has been dropped on ION springs where an additional rear spring seat was used to improve the stance at the rear. I just had my ION's installed and am not thrilled with the look of the rear drop as the fender gap is much greater at the front than the rear. I am still waiting for the springs to settle, but I'm just wondering what the drop would look like if I had used the extra rear spring seats I had bought for the installation..... If you have any pics, I'd love to see em. Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Ask and you shall receive! I just braved the still-94-degree heat to snap a couple of quick shots, although the lighting is a little low. IMHO, the double spring perch on the rear makes the iON stance PERFECT!! The wheelgaps are balanced front to rear, and I love the slight rake the car has now - looks much more aggessive.

Scooter Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Yeah, there are some others out there, which are the reason I went with the double spring perch to start with. (I was in GB#4.)

bbeast Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thanx, Scooter. Your car looks great and the stance looks perfect. I wish I had stuck to my guns and had the extra seats put on. Damn that hindsight..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 You're welcome! Do it and you won't regret it. The rears can be done yourself with hand tools (the right hand tools), if you have jackstands and 'rent' the spring compressors for free from AutoZone. $25 for the spring perches and maybe 3 hours of your time, working slowly. PM me if you need help or have more questions. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. In other words: SEARCH before you post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 ION also has a HD rear spring that has less drop. Dunno if anyone has them with pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me if you need help or have more questions. I found with the iON springs that I didn't need a spring compressor, just needed one to get the stock springs off. The iONs are short enough to go on just by hand. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!
