so here is the problem...
i am using suspension for my TL-01. it is a bit smaller shock than the stock one.

i have everything as tight as i can get it but my car still bottoms out and that really negatively effects drifting.
what can i do?
i like the look of the springs and i really dont want to put the ugly plastic ones back on

thanks for any help!

run the springs down and make them stiffer

macscac

im sorry, i dont understand that.
how would i do that?
thanks

It is usually done by twisting it clockwise (if it's threaded) or you put spacers in (unthreaded)

looking at your shock bodies, they are threaded. turn them clock wise, this will stiffen the spring and not allow the car to be so soft

macscac

yup that did it!
i have a solid 1/4 inch of clearance now w/ a very firm suspension.
appreciate the help guys!!

another thing to do to get more clearance out of those shocks is to get longer shafts.

macscac

i would love to have a longer shaft!
how would i go about that?

Lol...

I think I saw the procedure done on Dr. 90210

I'm even considering getting it done myself

no homo lol.

just find the dimensions of your shaft, and look on tower and find one of the same circumfrance but longer.

we do know what you mean. looking at his shocks, they are good enough. with no tension on the springs, it's causing them to sag. run them down a little and good to go[8D]
