not to threadjack but I need a set of the stud top bushings so digitalfiend, let me know when you might have some for sale.
I'll add you to the list. I'm working out some machining issues with the prototypes right now, but I should have them ready to be shipped out this week. Once I am ready to produce my first round for sale I'll need to know if you want the bushings and washers sized for the stock top mounts, or Atomic stock mounts. I'll start a thread once I get them available to list pricing and other details. Here's the people I have lined up right now:
Prototypes:
*) 04blackout (Stock upper mount)
*) Atomic (Atomic upper mount)
Post-Prototype:
*) Tahoewhat (stock or Atomic upper mount???)
*) Bomba02 (stock or Atomic upper mount???)
*) ThatDudeOrion (stock or Atomic upper mount???)
I have the 5305's and have contemplated cutting the dead coils for more drop. Which end of the spring did you cut to get more drop? If you cut out the dead coils it should not make any difference in the ride quality/stiffness.
I can't remember which end I cut. I am pretty sure it was the dead coils, or what seemed to be dead coils.
What exactly happened in your case with them and how much more drop did you achieve?
I can't recall exactly what happened with the ride height...it was too long ago, but in short it was a negative experience resulting in me 1) trashing my 5305's and 2) reverting to my cut stock springs until Tony's 6" springs were available.
What didn't you like about them after they were cut? Just curious.
Their spring weight seemed to increase drastically after I cut them, which resulted in a VERY stiff and BUMPY ride. The mention of me cutting them is to serve as more of a cautionary tale more than anything.
