OBI Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Hey everyone I need something to help with the weight on my Lincoln LS. I'll admit that I am a complete noob when it comes to suspensions, so I dont even really know what to look for. I know my car as a strut with a coil spring around it. And the weight from my batts and amps (600lbs) is really taking a toll. Still need the wall which makes me wonder how bad its going to get. Not really looking into air suspension, dont have room for a compressor, or tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo_frog Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well...if you wanna go the cheap, but worthy route...you could try a couple coil stabilizers from JC Whitney. It won't make the ride much better necessarily, but it will give you the lift you need. You can also buy air suspension and air it up manually. No need for a compressor or tank. This is how I helped my PT Cruiser with 10 batteries and a VERY heavy wall. Got a 3" lift out of it, so now it looks like I had a 3" drop from stock lol. Quote Need an install?

Ke_Bone_Bone Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 I will try to find the name of it, i saw it on this honda civic that was running 2 motors, one front and one back at a car show last weekend. its like a hydraulic air ram system that gives the performance of coil overs with the smooth and push button raise and lower of air bags. It looks like a air ride bag, but its a metal cylinder. can anyone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeatBox Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 if u have room to fit some of those helper bags in side the springs i would try that, if your strut goes in side the spring...well there goes that idea theres also tho cheap pieces of rubbers you stick in the spring, or also the small steel things they sell at the auto parts they also go in your springs. Just an idea, cheap fixes i think if they work that is the rubbers http://www.ridejudge.com/rides2/21814.jpg in steel http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v2678/108/14/194402113/n194402113_30932378_4180988.jpg heres a pic of the bolt in kind, all rusty but basically the same thing http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/729523/fullsize/spring-helpers.jpg and the bags http://images.bizrate.com/resize?sq=234&uid=1774519462 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
