Butt Lift

Way back when I did the rear suspension install,  I ran into a bit of a problem.  Even with the T3 spacers the back was going to be quite a bit lower than I wanted.  As a temporary solution I re-used part of the Megan Racing coilovers.  While this worked quite well, I sold the Megan Racing Coilovers and we met at JCCS to make the deal.  So since it’s been more than two months I figured I better get going on making the spacers I needed to be able to send this guy the rest of his coilovers.

I started with 2″ thick blocks of aluminum and got started by using a hole saw to bore a hole through the center.  Yes this took forever, but if you don’t have a mill this is what you do.

I roughed in the outside dimensions with the band saw.

Then moved to the lathe to make a whole lot of shavings.

Then made a whole lot more making the second one.

I made the spacer a bit thicker than what I had the adjusters set to so I would have a little extra lift.   Best of all I can finally send out the rest of these Megan Racing Coilovers.
