Hitting bump stops!

Recommended Posts

Aaah yes, the handling characteristics of the humble HQ.........the stuff of legend.

 

Hahaha yeah I remember way back when I was a lad doing donuts in the HK I could get it to do perfect circles on dirt (one front wheel staying in the one spot). HQ just couldnt do that..... I remember a mate having a HQ with a 350 and it would go sideways in a straight line doing a burnout, that was kinda cool tho....

I think I'll lower the upper control arm

And replace the ball joints on the upper arm, any brands to look for? That won't bind with the height it is?

Here is a really low drop done properly with NO binding

bump stops cut half, has 3" clearance, too low for my liking but does not bind or hit the bump stops with Kmac 650 pound springs, under heavy brake it does not hit the bump stops

 

at this level of low the LCA is not parallel to the ground so you are loosing a little handling hence I'm putting in new springs to raise it to parallel
