?????? Which is better or are they both the same? RaynboSyx 01-05-2002, 11:58 PM they are both pretty much the same......one ( the spindles ) deals with your wheels and their placement, the coils just allow the front to sit down more. ive got a 2000 s-10. i've got belltech 2" drop spindles and 1" drop coils in the front and 3" blox in the back. basicaally i've got a 3" drop all around. the only other difference is the price difference and the availabilty of a spindle for the s-10 greater than 2". guitaraus 01-06-2002, 02:49 PM http://forums.off-topic.net/images/smilies/gives.gif Your truck is about as stock as any I've ever seen, heightwise... fag. 327belair 02-16-2002, 06:15 PM droped spimdles maintain suspension geometry when dropping a car, cut coils limit suspension travel signifigantly, they are not the same at all. ghost-ss 04-21-2002, 12:04 AM Originally posted by 327belair droped spimdles maintain suspension geometry when dropping a car, cut coils limit suspension travel signifigantly, they are not the same at all. I agree completely. If you use cut coils, you will induce negative camber in the front wheels. This may not be bad from a handling standpoint, since it's frequently dialed-in by autocrossers, but it will cause uneven tire wear, wearing the inside portion of the contact patch much quicker. It will also induce bump-steer. The proper way to lower a car is via dropped spindles. Eric Related Links Enter the largest automotive community on the planet! |
