I am told he expected all kinds of extra parts that were never mentioned

that's :bsflag:

what I asked for is a Paypal invoice but dude is on recon hiding from something so I agreed to no invoice and to send cash
you won't find anywhere that I claimed something was offered and not delivered, I've yet to claim dude owes me anything- nor will you find somewhere I said I wanted to buy lowered springs- but I did and am still trying to figure out what parts I need..spring cups? you mean perches?
I own my ignorance as to what's needed to do the conversion and to what exactly ''Full Setup" means...your partner is more than willing to offer instructions, so I asked when I'm less than 100% certain...the fact that he can't turn his phone off and whines at work is between you and him- get real

I'm not a mechanic, that's why I ask for help...if Sniper doesn't want to help with install no prob

Ive read the texts and PMs.

As for the sway bar, if you are lowered AND have a larger than stock sway bar you need shorter end links.

there ya go...simple answer!

it looks like sway bars from an 89-97 Cougar or T-Bird are compatible and a solid/upgrade?

I know their solid, so i'd consider that an upgrade over the hollow/prone to breaking stockers. (I forget if g1's are solid or not.)

I have a super coupe rear bar on mine due to the old one snapping. Did it help? Yeah, but like I said the old one snapped in half due to rust..

today I got the perches (Snowflake rim center caps)
they fit around the coil perfectly with no isolator

with the iso on it's no go- but with retaining tabs bent back it's pretty snug -not perfect, maybe it'll work

finally put it back on the ground with new/used 1.5'' lowered coils and a new sway bar...I like the look, but it's definitely lowered...my jack got stuck under the front drv side after putting all the tires down

Strutmasters are probably the worst..

I've got a full setup for sale right now
Tokico Illumina with Vogtland springs.
Make me an offer in a PM ...AFTER you research the springs

thanks for selling me the cracked strut mount that had to be replaced

am I still bitter? fk yeah...nobody likes buying used junk

sniper knew what he had and was selling after he swapped the springs

Oh man..here we go again.

Dam, how'd I miss this thread?
I probably could have made you perches on the same machine I made those fwd srb spacers on with whatever dimensions you needed and sent them for just shipping. My logic is if I make you a set then I can make myself a set also.

Anyone have a print on the rear perches? I'd like to program the cnc at work and whip up a set to see how they come out. Whoever send's me a print with all dimensions will get a set for free as soon as I can get time and a working program. Like to have a set for the future if ever needed.

Of course they will have to be made out of steel.

Doug (DLF) was making/selling perches...so i guess there's a void to be filled.....if you reach out to his widow, she may have the spec sheet(s)

Found his thread on his perches but was no dimensions with it besides the 1/4" base.

But just so I'm clear on this. His upper and lower rear perches also require upper and lower isolators, correct?

Yes sir..isolators required, maybe if I find a set of vogtland 1.6" drop springs ill swap mine out and while I have the rear springs out ill measure them up for you. May want to get the ok from his wife to make copies of his perches..just to be respectful.

 

[Spree]

I don't think that will be a problem. I'm not looking to mass produce them, just to make a set to keep around in case I ever need them. Rear bag's have over 200k on them and not sure which way I'm going to go when they go out.

 

[dnsherrill]

if I find a set of vogtland 1.6" drop springs ill swap mine out .

if I had it to do over, I'd get 1" Vog drops...they're available new on the auction site for around $200...the 1.5" Eibach drops I have on this white car are, imo, too low, considering how 'hilly' it is where I live, and the bump on the top of my driveway
