Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
i was thinking about the cragar soft 8's as well for my new s10.. mine is white and i dont think black soft 8's would look that good on it.. i heard they make them in silver and chrome too but im just not that sure.. i havent found any white s10's with the cragar soft 8's on them in any color other than black

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
IMO they only look good in big sizes, what size are yours Air Forces?
In the big version they look sweet as hell, small ones just look kinda like cheap rock crawler rims to me :/ |

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
Its a 3.5/4.5
Done under 70$ =D lmao Front are 1" drop coils with 1 coil cut off, and the rear is 3" blocks with a pulled leaf. |

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
No, its good!
Rides better than stock, at least in my opinion. Then again roads where im at are not ****ed up like everyone elses lol It might ride a lil bit rough if i had like less tire or 18s or something. I have alot of tire so its like cushion haha |

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
wouldn't cuting the coil kill your springs? but i'm looking to drop it a 3/4 so far i'm going to go with this from what i think. dont know much about dropping it but correct me if i'm wrong. obviously it would be a 3/3 with this but i would need a 1" block if i'm correct for the back, right?

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
Well a lot of people will tell you cutting coils is bad or something bad will happen BUT then again there iwll be guys telling you theyve drove on cut coils for years with no problems.
I havent had any problems so far so i think its okay as long as the coil is expanded by heat. But yeah that pretty much looks right. Good setup. Im not sure about whether you need drop shocks for the rear or not since youll be using drop leafs.. idk how that works because i never had them but im sure someone could tell you. |

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
so i was looking at lowering kits and i over read that DJM was a good brand to buy from.
would this work for my 96 L4 4WD? i'm not too sure if being 4wd or 2wd matters. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DJM-KS2331-3-4/ Last edited by palella09 : 10-26-2009 at 05:59 PM. |

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
yea 4wd to 2wd matters. 4wd suspension doesnt have coils or spindles it has control arms with torsion bars. 2wd you could do drop spindles and springs and drop leafs and/or blocks in the rear.. but 4wd in order to drop it you have to do drop keys and blocks/leafs in the rear...not sure that this is the right thread to ask that question though..

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
Ok well 17s and bigger look tits then with the right tire profile, that's a good width choice too airforce
lowdown customs I am 4WD, and you are correct. Or you can ditch the torsion bars all together, lose 80+lbs, and go adjustable with coilovers ![]() |

Re: cragar soft 8s w/ drop post pics!
I think they are the same wheel, but different sizes, I beleive the above is a 16", and the bottom is a 17", I think the holes get bigger because the distance between the hoop and the hub is greater
