and why does it say for 95 - 00 LS's but shows them on a 1st gen?

 

They're Megan.

 

ucf10 and ucf20 suspension is interchangable, i think ucf20 sus. on ucf10 would make it even lower, i think i read it somewhere

but how do they ride? im looking to get them

 

95-00 LS400 can use suspension made for 89-94

89-94 LS400 can NOT use suspension made for 95-00

 

how is it only one way?

 

it has to do with the strut length for UCF2x coilovers being longer than those for UCF1x.

because of this, the coilovers would either not fit a 1LS, or die prematurely from lack of travel.

 

but if the coilover has preload and height adj. wouldnt it be the same?
i guess maybe the height would be compensated

 

but does he daily drive it this low? doubt it! me and vsynergy do, EVERY day.

 

no, im talking about STROKE length. this cant be compensated by damper/spring tuning.

true >.<

u comin to the 7.22.07 bbq in LB?

 

very sick man!

 

[QUOTE=PureDrifter;2758464]no, im talking about STROKE length. this cant be compensated by damper/spring tuning.


im not talking about dampering and spring turning, since the preload is set the stroke travel would be the same, only the height is adjusted by the lowered bracket thing, the the height is differnt, but the stroke stays the same. i duuno if im saying this right, but heres a picture

if its like this


the lower you go, the shorter the travel of the shock, since its not a preload, and height adjustable coilover

on the other hand,

if its like this
the springs stays at 0 preload maintaining stroke travel, while the height and the length is adjusted through the bottom bracket


i think as long as the threaded shock body has enough height adjusments, it can possibly work on both 1ls and 2ls


not promoting anything just borrowing pictures haha

 

im talking about the PISTON stroke, not the overall stroke.

piston stroke is limited by length of the piston itself. so theoretically i guess u could have a machine shop cut part of the piston off a 2LS coilover and put it on ur 1LS....

 

At one finger wheel gap, the car rides like stock, just a tad firmer. At the ride height I'm currently at, I bottom out on sudden bumps. I think I could fix this if I add more preload on the springs and adjust the damper.

Driving at this height is just crazy, I already blew out two tires due to alignment wear and cracked one of my exhaust pipes. I'm raising the car an inch so I can get this thing on the alignment rack.

 

botttom out your car? or bottom out your coilovers?

 

your car is the perfect example of why ls400's look good low.
