Posted: Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:17 pmAnybody got any spare U-Bolts to fit a 2" lowering block? I bent mine on the last event.

Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:56 pmget good quality ones
i prefer "good" steel with fine thread UNF threads 7/16 or better
i got mne from king springs ,
more importantly cut the ends off when installed
the other thing you should do is beef upp the bottom plates
they tend to bend when yu crank the nuts up
ps
im sure dany would say
piss the bloks off unless yu have a watts link
just get 2 sets of springs
1 tarmac 1 rally

I agree with angry Steve, about cutting the excess thread ends off.
Good to see your using it and getting some value out of it Mark.

My return on investment is sh*t at the mo.........I've done one charity event in two years and spent around $20k on top of the initial build.
It better start getting used soon otherwise its gone!

I always raided my local team oval if they failed that year.
