  1. you need to counter sink the holes for the screws to set them below the surface a bit, and use body filler to cover the holes. And just dont buy cheap ass wal mart screws, hit home depot and get some decent black drywall screws. And if you are stripping them you either drilled the holes to big or need to quit going apeshit when you screw them in. Ive never had that problem.

  2. and your precious batteries will last half as long

    you might not have any "issues" as of now but slowly your killing the batteries you spent so much on

    and id like to know what battereis you have that rest at 13 volts

    Do you have multiple personalities or some shit man... cause a few posts up you just said he was all good, that its fine..now you say the opposite... wtf?

  3. So did you read my entire statement or just a sentence then quote it??..

    and yes, air shocks can and have been used as an effective way to add payload capacity, there are several kits on the market that do just that, not to mention a bevy of mass produced units that have a form of air shock on the rear for the self leveling style suspensions, like what came factory on my wifes buick, and countless other GM cars. I also said that in his application it was not the ideal answer but would work. I then told him his best bet was to have a set of custom coil springs made. repeatedly.

  4. Im with Bigsix.. Try and Find new springs. It will be the less work than tryin to find for make a air ride kit work for your car.

    What year is your 323

    92, and I agree. I really didn't want to do bags, so I was needing opinions. Problem is I don't have the tools and noone around me can help (I've checked). I was originally going to get new oem springs and have them stretched but everyone said that was a bad idea.

    Stretching OEM springs is a TERRIBLE idea. and in your application would not help much if at all. To stretch a spring it gets heated up first, when u heat spring steel to that point it needs to be in order to stretch it, you begin to mess with the molecular structure of the steel and can change its temper causing it to be overly stiff and brittle. Not to mention it will negetively effect the spring rate and will not do anything in terms of increasing the payload capabilities of the springs. I am guessing it will be less than 300 bucks to have a custom set of springs made for your ride from a reputable spring builder. Def. is your best bet.

  5. Is your car struts or shocks in the rear? If it is shocks, you can find a pair of "air shocks" that you can run a hidden line to somewhere and add air to them with a regualr air line to increase your payload... Not the best solution, but a good one if it'll work in your application. There are also a couple places on the net in which you can order custom built coil springs that will fit your specific car, but have a much higher, stiffer spring rate... Thats all I got, hope it of help to you. Ill see if I can find you a link for one of the spring places.

  6. Good luck on that... aint shit that goes on around here.Theres a car show cruise in type thing on Saturdays I believe down in Brunswick at the Laurel Square shopping center on Pearl rd... I know in years past there would be a few cars w systems there and a few times there were some dudes there with a term lab... but it is mostly hot rods and muscle cars down there, although there are a few tuners as well..

  7. that batt up front is def not helping..and id ad at least 1 more...whats ur grounds situation like?

    before he dumps money on a battery he needs more runs of 0, he is trying to pull like 7000+watts (and a fuck ton of amps) thru 1 run.. He needs more runs regardless of his battery situation, or he will have voltage issues regardless IMO.
