I know 2fast runs some ghetto alternative, but does anyone know where some spring blockers can be purchased?

So I guess all those in the pic are gone? I know Steve from our club has some secret setup he won't tell anyone about. See if he'll give up the secret or ask if he knows anyone with some for sale. I searched online, couldn't find anything either. I would be interested in some. I am thinking of how to make my own right now.

Here's similar: Summit
Also Jeg's: Air kit

I dont think that air lift kit will work with a car with struts...does anyone offer an air lift strut?...I heard Monroe offered a replacement unit for the Bonneville air level system...anything similar for our car?

Those spring blockers are used for shipping GTO's if you can talk to a mechanic a a Pontiac dealer he may be able to hook you up .PS they really do help with your launch.Chico.

That intense thing is cool but ridiculously overpriced. Another reason not to shop at intense..

Why do they put them in the GTO's for shipping? to keep the rear end from scraping?

probably that, or to keep them just from bouncing around during transport because it increases the likelihood of being damaged. it is a long trip over from Australia!

It's to keep the suspension from moving while chained down to prevent damage.

So for around $15 (2 for each spring) i hope to have some better launches.
