I've had 2 people snap springs and the way they engineer their lowering springs is specifically for visual purposes. Essentially a RICE mod(race inspired cosmetic enhancement). For their drop, they do not have enough spring rate, and they tend to sag in the rear. I've had them sag on my car(pro-kit), I know a lot of other people have them sag, and they are just not a good spring in my opinion.

Any of you guys who run a 8 rib setup ever heard of needing a slimmer clutch disk on the AC compressor to get the pulley to fit? I brought my Ac compressor to a shop to have them swap the pulley(I couldnt get the stock one off to save my life) and he told me that the pulley wouldnt fit and i would need a new disk or something like that. I think he said it was a disk that the pulley went over on the shaft?

never mind, i figured out what it was. I called late model resto and they told me that the manufacturer uses a aftermarket shaft. Decided to return it and i will just have the stock unit fixed.

Update:
Blower has been bolted on, pinion flange changed, Aluminum drive shaft installed, exhaust installed.
Im currently waiting for some fuel fittings to be delivered so i can run the fuel line to connect both rails. I also have to install the AC compressor, radiator, fan, coolant tank, PS tank, and rout the hoses.
