hahaha whats captive? how much does it cost?

[datman310]

well i brought my springs from Ripco , captive means that the spring is still held in at either end when the suspensions at full drop(im not the best at explaining things im sure someone could describe it a bit better), my are about 1.5 inches away from being captive, when i had my commodore i put it up on the hoist at my old mans and the springs fell out the back lol thats y the warrent guys are quite hard on uncaptive springs, cuz they "could" fall out if ya went over a big bump or something, and i paid 380 for my springs but that was a few years ago now

[DylPhil7]

haha fuk tht! would you have to pay extra for yours to be captive?

[datman310]

to make them captive you have to get the shock shortend so it reduces the distrance the suspension drops so that you spring is captive, so i would buy/cut or whateva ya springs first ta get it down to your desired heigt, then get you shocks shortened the distance that the spring isnt captive by, i got quoted 45 plus GST per shock for shortening at autolign here in chch

ive herd about your wof man

If you still have your original oil filled shocks, just pull them apart, and slide a wee bit of pipe over the shock shaft. This will prevent the shock drooping enough for the springs to be uncaptive.
