ScottKE1X Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Looks like your running lowrider hydros! To get that front down a little more you'll need ke20 top hats and srping seats. easy as to do, probably should ahve told you before you did the springs... email me for more info. Scott. Quote

Falken_KE30 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 i love it, will look tuff when the front is down. Love old pre KE30 rolla's, Hard to find one in tassy though :cool: Quote
ke rollin 20 Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Posted May 3, 2008 hey all ye so i got the other leaf spring in out of the ke10 a couple of days ago it did drop a bit which made me happy :cool: but still has a fair way to go, but now that the leaf has let it drop my coils are a little bit more compressed the top coil is atually touching the one underneath it, does this mean that i can chop a coil or 2 off of them now??? and will that let it drop abit more or will the leaf spring hold it up ????????? i dunno i think i can chop a coil off an it should go lower ay??? i seriously am over pulling my springs in an out tho ay ;) i would love to just drop it off some were and pick it back up all low at the front, but iv rang around an no one wants to do it and think its a bad idea messing around with it because i quote "the leaf spring could snap" pffffff f@$kin wankers just do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fark! anyone no somewere that will help me out? save me playing around?? cheers haydo Quote
ke rollin 20 Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Posted May 3, 2008 hey just had an idea! what would happen if i just took the whole leaf out of the front? and just ran it on the coils?? it would drop way low wouldnt it and then i could just get shorter shockers and cut my springs?????? would this work and would it be reasonably safe? please let me no asap, so i can rip it out tomoro! :dance: :cool: ;) :dance: Quote
ke rollin 20 Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Posted May 4, 2008 ight as i said above i was thinking of just taking the leaf spring out, so i did that today and it dropped a fair bit ;) :dance: :dance: :cool: happy happy yay yay pretty much! and i took her for a spin and it felt fine still handled sweet nice an tight f@$k all bodyroll, but because the springs are so stiff its not allowing it to drop heaps it still has like anouther 10cm to go, because now without the leaf spring there they are really compressed so ill have to chop a few coils off allowing it to drop more and space out the coils abit :y: but this would meen my shockers will be fully compressed so ill need shortened shockers hey? which i have no idea but hopefully i can just order them in from somewere hey? but ye its nearly there so I'm very exited whooo! any comments on taking the leaf spring out would be much appreciated, cheers haydo Quote
philbey Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 First up, chopping the springs will make the front stiffer. Sounds confusing, but thats how it works. So no, I wouldn't recommend that. Scott and I were talking about this damn ke10 front end thing the other day. Like he mentioned in a previous post, you will need to go shopping for some ke20 upper spring perches. This is the flat dish that sits on top of the spring. KE20 ones are about 40mm lower, so you will get more stroke on the spring. I have some spacers you will need to fit them, for the price of 1 six pack of beer! Did you have to compress the spring quite a lot to get it into place in between the spring perches? I can imagine it would have been a tight fit. Quote
ke rollin 20 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Posted May 6, 2008 hey all, so stoked i finally got this front down, i just ended up ripping the leaf spring out and chopping about 3 coils off my springs shockers are pretty much fully compressed but hey! :yes: it still handles sweet and feels good an safe so thats what i wont, looks sick all round now heaps happy with it, thanks to scott (rol:110) for the advise, cheers mate the front looks kinda tough i reckon haha go the cruzer! heres some pics i just took look heaps clean at the moment i reckon :dance: :POSTPICS!: all it needs now is some 14n's an white walls! let me no what ya think! cheers haydo :yes: Quote
