[niik000]

i want to lower the back about 3/4ths of an inch with the heater hose mod, but im woried bacause when i have 3 passingers my car bottems out on bumps and if i start to fast. willl the heater hose mod make it worse? i thought maby it was normal for this to happin, bacause if i put in an LT1 i would need new springs, and 3 extra people add about as much weight as an Lt1 right?

its a sticky in the "How To" section basically a mod to lower your car by about 1/2"-2" by removing some rubber piece thats above the springs or shocks and putting heater hose around the spring, helps lower the back end of the car a couple inches

that doesnt sound safe at all....

safe? The worst that could happen is your springs make noise in the back..

Don't lower the car if you don't want it bottoming out. It's probably due to worn shocks and springs, and making the car lower on those same shocks and springs isn't going to help any.

quit taking your friends on so many trips to taco bell... it makes em fat XD

i dont think lowering your car would help the bottoming out problem....

I'm just worried about bottoming out with 2 people in my car insted of 4.

I have a hitch in the back it bottoms out with no one in the car at times going out driveways etc hahahaha I would agree suspension prob needs work.. or better yet just let thin light girls in you're car from now on :)

So would it be a relly bad idea to do the heater hose mod?

Re: car bottems out when full of people, shound i do heater hose mod?

if youre trying to keep it from hitting the ground, why would lowering it further to the ground seem like a good idea?

see where im heading? :naughty:

No. One just needs to learn how to drive an F-body. Take speed bumps one wheel at a time, and you'll be fine...hose mod or no

I worded my question wired, I knew it wouldn't fix the problem I was just curious how much worse it would make it. I'm probably gonna end up doing it regardliss to make my painted stock rims look bigger

Wow, with 4 people and a 60lb sand bag in the back I don't bottom out. You don't need suspension, you need Weight Watchers. :D
