Coil Overs

[Supercharged SVT]

To replace the springs that I had made in 2010 (one broke) normal ride and drive - no off road -



Modified Bilstein 5100 F150 Shocks on a Lathe to lower the perch 3" and then got a Bilstein Coil Over Kit and some light weight Eibach race springs to make it balance out - This approach is much less than the Spring approach that I took a few years ago and thanks to Lloyds pictures it all made sense for a Lowered Ride that aligns the spring and the shock so it does not bottom out - I will post pictures this weekend -

looking forward to the pictures! how is the ride? I heard the 5100s are very stiff valved dampening...

Also can you post part numbers for everything you have in this? when you say you lowered the perches 3" does that result in a stock height or does that lower you any?

So far I am very pleased - fender to tire clearance is between 3-4 inches and there is No problem with the rear shafts - when this weekend weather gets here - I will take some pix
