Re: heater hose question

if you're asking what size hose to get, use a 5/8th hose

That is correct , I also found it easier to put a little oil or grease on the spring where your sliding it on to makes it a little easier when pushing it on, also turning it while pushing too.

Re: heater hose question

Re: heater hose question

yeah if you jack the car all the way up in the air, and let the rear end hang down, you should be able to just pull the spring out

I had to let the rear hang down and unbolt the shock to get my springs out when putting the new eibachs in....and just did the heater hose mod when switching out rearends. Now my car sits 5" off the ground behind the front wheel and 6" infront of the rear wheel. Hopefully I still don't scrape on stuff ( I didn't really before the HH mod)

I'm about the same height with molded grounds efffects in front and I haven't had any trouble with any thing. The only thing that scraps is the air dam of course.
