Guest Powered By Hate Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 What can be done besides hydros and bags? Ive heard about super coils for hoppers to smash into when they collide into the pavement and bounce back. All its gonna do is hold a shit ton of weight. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appriciated. Dump truck springs are too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrwigglezdj Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 since its going to be a non driver (rite?) i would weld steel plates in so the car has nothing as far as springs or shocks go , but doesnt squat over all the weight.... not something to do if you plan on drivein on the road tho....

Well, the ability to still be able to move under its own power. Like to help load itself onto a trailor. It doesnt have to go 10 mph.. The wheels might turn from time to time. No tag.

jack Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 take some measurements and look for a set of front coils the same dia off an old car with a V8. i got a set from a 71 chevelle, cut a little off and heated and flattend down the top coil so that it was the same as the coil i removed from my car. the car rides better than it did before and has about 600 pounds extra in the back. i can also sit on the hatch and car will remain at stock height.

00cex Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) I don't know what year Civic you have but I just had the same problem with my 2000 EX Coupe with around 500+lbs in the trunk. I called a place called Vogtland Suspension (951) 694-6981 talk to Richard I believe. Tell him your situation and that you talked to me he has a solution that uses a preludes suspension. Mine arrive on Wednesday under $300 for all four as well. The rear springs are weird they have a 3.94" Outer Diameter 11.5" tall spring that at the bottom I believe reduces down to 2.52" O.D.

Well to be honest I dont think 500 will be enough. Concrete will be poured into my car. The hatch is going to be soild. There will be alot of steel to keep the car rigid and keep from rattling. It wouldnt shock me if the car ended up weighing 5000 pounds. Stock w/ full interior is like 2300. Its gutted at the moment but that will change soon. I'm gonna get ahold of those people as well, thank you. =] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
