    Spring Spreader needed or NO ???

    Also my original spring that's in the car is wrapped in tin, the used replacement spring I'm putting in is supposedly out of a 46 as well but is not wrapped in tin. Is there any ryme or reason to the 2 different styles? Thanks Dennis

    Spring Spreader needed or NO ???

    Thanks fellas, I appreciate all the quick responses. I have a lift and plan to do this with the car up in the air and screw jacks supporting the axle unless anyone has advice otherwise. Also as mentioned before the whole reason for doing this is because the car sets about 2" lower on the left...

    Introduction

    Scott / Trevor.... This is copied and pasted from a previous thread I had posted on from 06/05/2014: I washed my hands of Macs a couple months ago...customer service is horrible at best. After placing a $500 online order for various parts and receiving the order, I noticed the idler arm was...

    T5 cable drive speedometer conversion

    My honest .02 is if the price is reasonable I think you definitely would have a market. The electro drive S10 T5's are still very plentiful while the mechanical drives are starting to get scarce.

    MAC's Auto Parts.

    Solution seems quite simple...everyone jump on the "Boycott Mac's" train and they will eventually get the message. Ive already tried the kooth route of addressing my problems calmly with customer service, in which a SUPERVISOR basically told me to get bent and that they have hundreds of...
