Has anybody here used the Street Edge lowering leaf springs? Priced a set at $269 vs $330 for the Belltech, looking for an honest opinion/review/rant, thanks in advance.
Never heard of Street Edge, when I was static dropped ,I ran Belltech rear springs with angled blocks. Made in the USA, not cheap China steel
Thanx RT. Got a set of Belltechs, gonna put ‘em on this week, weather permitting. Another question: I want an additional 1-1/2” - 2” drop, have you seen a way to do it with shackles instead of blocks?
You want to use angled blocks as this keeps the pinion angle correct. With 2'' dropped springs & 2'' angled blocks the 3rd member will be hitting the the frame, not so good of a ride!! When this happened with me I just jumped ahead & installed the 8 piece notch kit I had already bought , as bagging my ride was the plan!!
Yeah man, I’ve been contemplating the notch; was hoping to avoid it, but it’s the way to go for that look. More reading!
Okie dokie, got my notch kit, but am gonna save that project for a later date. Meantime, I need to replace my seriously rusted shackles and front pin (actually had to use the cutoff wheel for those). Saw a set of shackles on Jegs, anybody else out there in Mini Land got a better idea? Anybody at all, don’t be shy. Anybody. Bueller?
