Works of art! (no not you Slednut, the other art with out a capital A) ;D

Well, I fabbed up some new parts for the build.

I had started out with a set of the typical flat bottom heavy duty coil spring cups but had trouble fitting them with my track bar riser and bump stops, so I decided to make my own... with some refinements.

First, I really wanted something heavy duty but to also incorporate the spiral ramp like the factory cups since the coil springs don't have a flat bottom.
I worked the bottom plate up out of 1/4" steel and then went from there.
I kept the overall diameter a little tighter and off set the mounting holes in the same position as the factory cups. I also noticed that on some aftermarket coils the bottom coil does not wrap around as far as the factory coil so I rotated my retaining strap back a bit to ensure positive retainment. and it's all fully tig welded together.

And here in the first picture you can see how the spring wants to lean on a flat bottom cup and then how it sits on my cup in the second picture.

Quit making such cool stuff! It's a shame I have new SS cups wrapped up in storage or I'd be asking for a set of these! Looks great B!

I wonder how affected the ride would be?

You have some mad fab skills sir, those coil cups are awesome! Just out of curiosity what did you bend those with (unless its a secret)?
Thanks for all the pics of your work too, keep'em coming!

migs · Feb 6, 2016

sorry... top secret alien technology

Ha! actually, just a press brake. but it did take a bit of figuring to get it right.
