FUCK, YESTERDAY AFTER PUTTING DEEP CUPS IN THE FRONT OF MY 64. I WAS DOING ALITTLE GAS HOPPING DOWN THE STREET AND HEARD A LOUD SNAP. ONCE I PULLED OVER I NOTICED I HAD SNAPPED MY FRONT SPRING IN 2 PIECES(THE SPRINGS ARE PROBABLY 3 YEARS OLD). I PUT THE DEEP CUPS IN BECAUSE THE PASS SIDE CUP KEPT POPPING OUT OF THE SPRING, THE SAME SIDE THAT THE BROKEN SPRING IS ON. WTF IS GOING ON? I AM STARTING TO GET SICK OF ALL THE PROBLEMS!! :angry:

sounds like you started off with junk LOL :biggrin:

Hopping a car can only result in some kind of damage. SO you have to be prepared.

ITS ALL ABOUT QUALITY COMPONENTS....

i never said it was junk jus wondering if the cylinder could be out of alignment or something! instead of jumping to conclusions and being a dick, you could offer some advice. It is my first set-up so it gets frustrating, evertytime i fix one thing something else breaks.

 

[plague]

FIRST THING I WOULD DO IS TAKE IT TO A REALLY GOOD SHOP YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE SPRINGS POPPIN OUT AND SHIT FLYIN NOT UNLESS YOU GOT A BAD ASS HOPPER. HAVE THEM LOOK IT OVER NOT SAYIN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT JUST WANT YOU TO BE SAFE. WHAT KIND OF SETUP YOU GOT IS IT MADE FOR HOPPING ANY REINFORCEMENTS ANYWHERE HAS BUSHINGS ALL BEEN REPLACED. DON'T TAKE IT TO WHOEVER DID IT THE FIRST TIME. :thumbsup:

YOU LIVE AND LEARN, THE MORE THAT BREAKS THE MORE I LEARN ABOUT MY SET-UP. SPENDING MORE MONEY IS NEVER FUN THOUGH!

 

[lowcaddy87]

sorry to hear about another problem, i really dont know why the spring would have been poping out in the first palce, other than maby since it was a really short stack of coil and with the reg cups, when you put the deep cups in did they fit inside the springs proper? or was it tight and not want to fit? maby when you where hitting the switches the cup poped into place and thats when the spring cracked? i does kinda seem wierd that it was on the same side tho

 

[PROJECT6DEUCE]

yeah i know its fucked. could it just be a coincidence that its the same side. the springs were old, anyways now i'll go and get me some chrome 3 tons. :biggrin:

money is meant to be spent.....

you wouldnt appreciate it or have as much fun if shit was all free...... it would get real boring real quick.....

 

[Swingin80Lincoln]

if it was cheap and easy, everybody would be doing it.

after 3 years, the coils probally had enough abuse. the check valves that come with kits are shit anyways, ive never had good luck with them either. its been stated above, quality components-you get what you pay for!

 

[EIGHT BALL]

double check to see you might be binding your cylinder up, it may not have enough room or big enough hole for the cylinder to fit upright or safely. happens to everyone once. get used to it , and remember tap tap to lift, you may be brick laying those switches too
