OK. My DA is pretty slamed to the ground as they come. I have some tokico blue shocks on it. Those are like a step above stock replacements. The problem is with it so low there is barley enough travel to soak up the smallest of bumps, Just hits the bump stops and yes I did cut them in half.

Has anyone tried repositioning the mount on the lower control arm to make the shock sit any lower??? I was thinking of just drilling a hole farther up the mounting bracket on ther shock and welding the nut back on.

Also do any of you know a shock with an over all smaller body for this type of problem.

I dont want to raise it up or put gay air suspension on it, save that for the stupid mini trucks.

Or will I just have to live with it. DA s look bad *** slammed to the ground.

 

Slammed and good ride just dont mix. You will have to live with it

you should look into swapping your DA struts and get a full coilover kit for an EF application. they are the same, only different is the shock travel. do a search on it and im sure you will find that a few DA owners have done this.

you might want to consider some stiffer spring rates since its for the EF application and our DA's weight a lil more

 

I will deff look into that EF conversion. I not looking for it to ride like a caddy or anything. I dont like it botoming out so easy.

My car looks like it has some $25 ebays coil overs on it. I bought the car like this. You really do get what you pay for. I sure they are have some play in this also. Spring for some skunk duce.

 

extended top-hats.

that's the problem right there.. tokico blues are decent shocks you should just get some decent springs

 

i have same stock springs and some lowering springs hit me

pretty easy to do as well.

 

Im diggin the sound of those top hats... Where can I find some?

 

ground control makes the top hats

suspension techniques used to make drop forks also which were pretty cool

from my experience they both suck for dumped da's anything lower than the stock limit and your upper control arms will be bottoming out or riding on the inner fender. da's dont have much clearance when it comes to the front

you can make them custom or buy them from ground control.

how did you get to ride lower? i have 550 rates up front and im still hitting the uca

 

Its a pretty crappy coil over set up. I think the rate is like 450. I bought it lowerd so I really couldent say.
