    CSX-T #152's new stance

    Been working on the suspension a bit. Here is a shot of the rear fender gap with Eibach springs:

    Here is after I cut a dead coil out:

    A couple other shots:

    Looks good! So by dead coil you mean one that was squashed with the car resting on it? Any issues with it being loose on there? I need to adjust my stance a bit.

    It's nothing close to that GLHS of yours that I just finished looking at...WOW!

    Yes, there are several dead coils on Eibach's. I thought about going one more...which is 1/2 inch each time...but think it would look ghetto if it were another 1/2 more in the rear.

    Thank you! She could be a pinch lower in the front though.

    Ah I see. Yeah lot's of dead coils on an aftermarket spring. Looks about right the way you did it. CSXT is the highest selling Turbo Dodge so far. Looks great!

    Are those "dead" coils only bound when the weight of the car is on them, or are they always bound.

    I don't know buddy...I swear I could really use some of your guidance on the wet sanding/polishing.

    The one we cut was bound without weight.

    Do you still have a couple bound? Is the spring loose in the seat when the weight is off the spring?

    You just want to make sure that the springs don't come unseated when the car is jacked up or when the suspension become unloaded, such as when cresting a hill. Thats why those coils are there.
