[QUOTE="PD1744, post: 1810314, member: 39284"] Got the lower shock tabs squared away last weekend in prep for our Durhamtown event this weekend. Took her to a shop with a lift so that I could get the rear properly drooped out: [ATTACH type="full"]365917[/ATTACH] When working through solutions, I was told anywhere from $125 to $450 for shock mounts some with a 2 week lead time. Then I found [URL='https://www.aa-mfg.com/']A&A Manufacturing[/URL]. I was able to buy some mounts that could work for $5 a piece plus $10 shipping and some tabs for $3 a piece. Ordered both sorts just to give myself some options. They are in the middle of the country so I got parts in 2-3 days instead of a few weeks lead time as some are not in stock and coming from across the country. [ATTACH type="full"]365922[/ATTACH] Could have made both work, but I decided to go with the birdcage tabs instead of the U shaped mount. Hard to tell from pictures, but I was able to get them set up like I wanted to effectively putting the shocks in the ride zone and allowing adequate bump and droop travel. [U]BEFORE[/U] [ATTACH type="full"]365925[/ATTACH] [U]AFTER[/U] [ATTACH type="full"]365927[/ATTACH] [U]COIL BOOTS, SPRINGS, PELLETS[/U] Replaced these yesterday. I noticed a lot of corrosion on the resistors the last time I had these out, so I figured it couldn't hurt. Was cheap and easy enough to do. [ATTACH type="full"]365931[/ATTACH] Again, while it's not completely gone, I can say that this significantly smoothed out my lumpy shudder/stumble at idle and super low speed. Could definitely make a case for weak spark with the amount of corrosion on the pellets that came out. I'd say give it a shot if you're experiencing this symptom. [/QUOTE]
