Also, a little secret, compare all of supertech's springs that are compatible with our motor.. (75, 78, 94lbs, I believe it's those 3).. Check out their specs. You'll be surprised at what you learn.


You're welcome.
the on seat pressure @ the correct instsalled height matters just as much as coil bind height because if the installed height is not correct then the on seat pressure will be off and the coil bind height changes

and tell us all about your little secret you learned

and for the majority of the ecotec owners that will not or are afraid to spin their engines anything more then stock is a waste of your time and not needed
Oops sorry for the mix up. That's why I thought you were going to the 82lb ZZP ones.

I was told the 75's can take .500" lift. By someone who's done it. And I got a great deal on them.

And thanks Tyler but I'm gonna prove a point with the m62 first

I haven't decided if I want to load the vid from this weekend or not. Few ppl will see it for what it is. Yes, I lost. But damn it was close.

Yep.

As per their spec sheet that came with my kit max lift is 0.511" (13.0 mm).

Below is a break down of specs for all their Ecotec springs:

Gotta be something wrong with it.... It was sold by a junkyard... Now the buyer is selling it off again?? WTF...

I'm kinda surprised someone even bid on it... Guy has NO previously sold items starts off selling something for $1k.
