Coil spring spacer recommendations??
« on: September 08, 2006, 05:41:50 AM »
I want to add some coil spacers to my kick. I checked with Digger, but he said the sport is made differently and the recommended modifications cant be made to this model. So I considered just using a 1" spacer which would hopefully be mild enough to use without any other modifications. Digger doesn't have any 1" ones, so what other companies have the best 1" spacers for the money? Thanks

Actually I beleive I told you that I didn't know if they would fit or not. I would hate to tell you one thing and be wrong when the truth is that I don't know. They probably will fit, but I don't have a sport model to test fit them on and I haven't had any reports back from anybody else that's tried using my spacers on a sport...

Yeah, I asked rocky road outfitters and they said theirs would fit a sport, so I'm sure yours would fit as well. But if I recall correctly you didn't have any 1" ones? I decided to go with 1" since the strut mount flip may not be possible. Do you plan on making any 1" ones in the near future? Thanks for your help.

I'm not even sure what the ratio in the front is(size spacer x Y = total lift) I know the non-sport models are about 1.5 times the spacer thickness.  I'd try a 3/4" or a 1" in the front, and a 1.5" in the rear for an all-around 1.5" lift.

Yes, they will fit a Sport. They use the same type off struts, shocks and springs. The only difference is the chassis width when it comes to fitting Calmini's diff drop brackets as they need modifying.

So then the strut mount flip will be the same?

if the Sport has a strut brace bolted to the upper strut mount then no.  but for 1" you don't really need to flip the mount.  I just put Digger spacers on my XL7, and I used Boondox strut extenders instead.

I don't have any 1" material currently, but if there's call for it, I will get more...
