Just wanted to see if this was what the heater hose mod consists of? wasn`t able to put them on my car yet, still have the Eibachs on, just wanted to get some height back in the back

 

I think you got it there.

I just use garden hose.

 

how much will this mod lower the car?

 

Not much mabe 1/4in

 

I heard it was more like 3/4 but not gonna argue that until I get it on the car and get some pics posted up, I keep hearing every car is different

 

Yep. That's what mine looks like. It lowered my car about 3/4 an inch in the rear. FWIW

 

3/4 inch

 

get it done ya savage

 

Hey Wicked94Z, can you tell me your suspension set-up, along with your exhaust system? That's the EXACT stance I'm looking for, and your car sounds nasty...thanks!

 

in that picture? If you'd like I'll just sell you my "special" suspension setup that I have. It consists of stock springs, stock shocks, full tank of gas. That's it man just wait for your car to be 12 years old and you too can have the incredible stance that my car posseses haha. driving around on 12 year old shocks kinda sucks though, not bouncy just freakin feels like my car is gonna fall apart cuz its so rough.

exhaust was shorties, no cat, magnaflow cb, cutout.

everything is diff now. my car is H/C, longtubes, true duals, and i did the heater hose mod on the rear so i don't have to drive around with a full tank of gas for my car to look good.

 

What size heater hose do I need? Im gonna do this mod this next weekend

 

5/8" will be good, use some kinda lubricant to help it slide on easier

 

Lowered my car 3/4" exactly. YMMV; but that's been about the same amount of drop everyone has done that I've seen.

I used 5/8" heater hose, about 1 foot in length. I sprayed lithium grease inside the hose before installing it onto the spring.

 

I got the same results, took a few days for the car to settle, but it came out perfect in my opinion.

 

okay so it lowers it in the back, but what do u do to the front?

 

Use your stock springs and buy some Koni SA shocks. The front Koni shock has a lower spring perch that can be utilized that will lower the front 3/4" also. Koni SAs are the only shocks that have the lower front spring perch, so you have to spend some cash but they are well worth the money.

 

how much are the konis?only the front?

 

If you plan to autocross, use the Koni SA's up front and then use the Bilstein 3rd gen shocks in the rear. That's my setup. I bought my shocks from Sam Strano (www.stranoparts.com).

 

why the 3rd gens?u do mean as in 82-92 fbodys right?

 

I purchased Konis all the way around for 725. 4th gens in front, 3rd gens in rear. Call Stranoparts for a price for fronts only.
