these are a great option to lower your fronts...and its an easy DIY job too....just remove 2 bolts on each side....VS....buying new springs and hiring a shop to swap out = $$$!!! Yikes!!!

you get to keep the same suspension feel as before (cuz it dont affect your spring/shock, coilover, or air susp).

 

I would imagine that whatever unevenness you had before will still be there, The Left/Right weight doesn't really change. Though the uneven gap might be more apparent now that the gaps are getting smaller.

 

Are they made/able to be put on the rear as well?

Where can you buy these? Only thing I can find is this site for 2GS and seem to have a price tag of $200???

How is it that an aluminum block costs $200?

 

How much gap do you have on the right and left side. If I recall the left side of the car will lean (sit lower) then the right side of the car. You can see this more when you lower these cars. With coils you can dial it in so it sits level.

I'm curious if this will give the same results since its different?

 

Yea I was hoping this may not have the same results as lowering springs.

 

yup.. you can't adjust the height if your car tilts to one side or the other.

 

From what I have seen in the pictures, I could probably make these a lot cheaper.

I have a machine shop.

The big question is what type of tolerances does it have.

What type of aluminum (yes there are a lot, basic is 6061)

Also what type of finish, I would suggest a hard anodizing.

To make 50 to a 100 of these would be cheaper, to make 2 would be very expensive.

 

all this talk about the front whats up with the rear....?????? are the rear on these aluminium blocks also....anyone got a website please post link...i am runnning on air and want to keep my car lower as i drive and try to regain some more shock clearance...

 

obvious question.. 4th time asked.. where the heck do you order these

 

Welcome to the world of automotive tuning. Obviously these would be cheaper to machine in larger quantities - but could you sell 100 pairs? And, as far as what type of aluminum, that is something that you, as the manufacturer, would have to determine, prototype, test, market, and sell.

Personally, I would prefer to see these made from steel or stainless for better sheer strength. Of course, you'll need to source longer bolts of appropriate strength and include all the hardware.

Easy... no worries... would only take about 30 minutes to figure it all out!

 

that's a nice drop on a stock suspension can u tell me where i buy them at as well? and what was the price for the set?

 

Very nice look and very smart choice.. it is a pain to install springs so this route would be a lot easier and to swap back even easier in case of a sell. nice

 

ditto....nicely put.

 

alum. would work just fine. i work at an alum. shop and trust me, alum. can stand up to some pretty tough stuff. the cost of s/s is going up and also much harder to work with since you need equipment able to drill and handle s/s.

 

Very true, we just finished a s/s job and it was a PITA.

Stainless is stronger than Aluminum, but depending on the application, aluminum can easily do many jobs once only used by steel & stainless steel.

Plus aluminum is a lot lighter.

We do a lot of work for aerospace companies, and they use mainly 7075 & 2024.

6061 is industry standard for most other applications.

Could I sell 100 of these, probably not, but the cost of making 50 sets (2 per) would probably cost about $500+ $100 plating Total $600. I would only need to sell 12 sets at $50 ea to make my initial investment back.

Now theses figures are based on what I saw in the pictures with high tolerances. +/- 10 thou using 6061 Aluminum.
