With barrel springs it is easy to spot. If I ever get around to it I will get pics Friday. It has been too hot here to do anything, I owe Powell some pics of my sway bar too which were promised a week or so ago.

If you go cutting stockers cut very little at a time, they dont bind like my aftermarkets do, I have basically cut 4 dead coils off the whole time on the back and cut 2 deads and 75% of a load coil in the front. Stockers shouldn't be more than a coil if that. I would start at half and check ride height.

 

Oh OK I see but I don't think I'll be doin it soon but pics would be nice. I think right now I have a bent strut or control arm. So the rise height isn't all the same.. the right front or my car is 2 inches lower than the rest

 

Like I said, when it cools down here a bit I will. I work outside, I try to stay cool whenever I can.

 

IM IN WOW YES TOTALLY just ordered your mounts by the way powell

 

Its cool I understand heat its always 100 plus here and one more question what do out mean by dead coils?

 

Dead coils are the ones that are just on there to hold the car up, if you are on aftermarket springs most likely they have dead coils and you can easily see them by looking under when the car is sitting on the tires. The coils that are just sitting there touching are "Dead Coils". Those that have some space between them are live coils(i.e. when your suspension is compressed under cornering/accel/braking they come closer together, dead coils just sit there and molest each other whether under load or just sitting level with the weight of the car on them.

 

Oh I see! Gotcha! I kinda thought that's what it meant lol

 

This bind is just getting annoying now. lol

 

annoying, im waiting on my axle to go its getting really really bad

 

been there :P now i just get to wait another yr til i need new ones lol

 

although i'm manual and not quite as low as some of you guys, i really don't feel too much axle bind. a very slight vibration but that's it, i may need a new axle thou because the driver side has 2 very small pin holes in it that i just rtv siliconed yesterday to try and fix the leak for a while. it amazes me how the auto's seem to get bind that bad

 

How so? Like, clicky bad or what? lol

 

well, if you cut the dead coils off, then you would be cutting the springs up top because thats where the dead coils are

 

I just found this thread today. Any news on these mounts?

 

Powell made a set but didnt like the way they worked out. Back to the drawing board

 

Bah, fawk. We have no options other than poly then? I'm on my second set of oem mounts and axles and need thirds NOW so hopefully when I go for 4ths I'll actually have a quality option.

 

started hearing clicking today. 3 months into the coils being installed

 

mine always click and i have brand new axles lol

 

No clicking from mine yet, but suuuuper wobble in the steering wheel. lol

 

any word from john?!? my car shakes and wobbles the whole time I accelerate

 

nope, nothing yet. I emailed him like 3 days ago and asked for an update. I just want them to be finished so I can order them already. lol It's been weird the past couple of days because I'm not getting much bind at all, at least not as much as I have been getting. I'm not sure if I should be happy, or worried.

 

bump now have popping while turning...

 

How many miles are on your car? (Sorry if you already answered that, on the mobile site) it could be your axle just wore out and lowering wasn't the reason they are going bad

 

82k on the car. Been 4 months since I put the coils on. Bind has only gotten worse since lowering. Was never a problem before. Thats why I want mounts.

 

^hence why i didnt slam my car, **** all that noise.
