TRS Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 why do you need 2x spring pads? i had H-Tech's and car was level. boscoThe stock tophat doesn't allow the Tokico shaft to extend far enough through it to fully thread the top nut onto it. The Spec B ones do, but with them you end up with a slight increase in ride height up front. Doubling-up the rear spring pads adds about the same or slightly more ride height to even it up front to rear instead of being a little tail-heavy looking.

hutru01 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Here is a picture with the difference between stock and with cobb springs. Notice the slight rake towards the front. They are designed for the LGT. The ride is slightly rougher than stock but then again, they are lowering springs..... http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/33/stockvscobbwr5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subyroo Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 So I have read all of the threads and I would like clarification...... do you stach the pads or do you put one on the bottom? The way the pads are they have a smaller diameter part that fits down inside the spring, so does that mean that the part that would normally fit inside the spring on the second one will fit inside the first pad?

subyroo Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 great! I just installed GT Auto pinks and USDM Spec B bilstiens on my car and am trying to decide if I want to add the extra pad. I already have the extra pads in the garage. I am not sure if the rear is low or if I am just paranoid from all of the threads about the rear being low.

vitarelli Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I just ordered pinks for my spec b. Unclemat told me to get MT Wagon springs for the best stance. They are the same rate just a longer spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
