Alternative to "zero rates".

Anybody? You can get em from Summit. A little more pricey at $55. They are 1.5" tall.

looks cool ! i want some indefinat adjustment?

that looks lie it would break easy

 

[mrk5]

What are they made out of?

 

[boz42]

looks like alum.

Do they bolt to the springs like the ORD Zero Rates, or are they just a block ??

there is no hole, they are just 1.5 inch blocks...

 

[blazerpro79]

i just read up on them, they arnt designed for a lift (if that matters). they are made to lower race cars that have the opposite u bolt kits.

seems like you would add risk breakage for an extra 1/2"

You can get 1.5" zero rates anyway. I wouldn't use those contraptions.

 

[CyberSniper]

Those are for cars with spring under to lower them...

I wouldn't run an aluminum block. Seen too many break. Seen quite a few wear so the axle rocked back and forth on them.

You can go to most machineshops and they'll make you a pair for about $25.

Or, you can go even cheaper and take a pair of old overload springs... I know everyone has a bunch laying around, cut them down to 6" long, and bolt em in. They are only around 3/4" tall, but they work as well.

a lot are 1/2 thick, but you can stack them and put them in the bottom of your spring pack.

I was thinking more along the lines of the fact you can adjust them to 1/4"-1.5" in either direction moving the axle. They are built for race cars and I assume most have higher torque and hps then most of use will ever reach. Lowering block...well sure....thats the idea on a spring under, but doesnt that mean that they do the opposite on a spring over?

Hey Im not sure how well they'd work, but the simple fact that they are adjustable and a holf inch taller is the reason I brought them to your attention.

 

[Blue85]

but it's not the height that's adjustable, is it? It looks like you can adjust your axle forward and backwards with them. That seems like an unique capability.
