Discover the difference Coil-Rite air helper springs can make in improving the ride, handling and braking of your vehicle. Coil-Rite air helper springs provide extra support for coil springs in cars, minivans, vans, light trucks, RV and SUV. The adjustable Coil-Rite air helper springs will level your vehicle, provide a smoother ride, and assist with more effective braking and handling, even under heavy loading and adverse road conditions. Coil-Rite air helper springs are designed to fit inside existing coil spring suspensions, creating a variable rate spring. These air helper springs are made of durable, elastic polyurethane, providing years of comfort and stability to your vehicle. Firestone Coil-Rite air helper springs enable adjustment for varying loads and road conditions by controlling the air pressure in the air helper springs. Spring performance can be altered as easily as inflating a tire. The air springs will support 500 To 1000 Pounds per set.

These Whiteline front lower control arms feature high-quality alloy, which offers considerable weight saving over original equipment quality arms. The reduction in weight of the arm, which is partly unsprung weight, brings the similar benefits to a light alloy wheel. In addition Whiteline has engineered significant geometry gains with +0.5deg caster and anti-lift improvements into these arms to optimise wheel alignments settings for street and track performance. Caster increases dynamic negative camber on the outside wheel whilst turning, offering more grip without introducing the tyre wear associated with static negative camber. Furthermore the increase in caster improves traction and increases the self-centring effect of the steering. Throw this altogether and the small change in additional caster improves the front-end grip and handling considerably. The change in lift and dive geometry enables the suspension to work more freely. Whiteline’s rear mounted bushing combines the superior mechanical properties of synthetic elastomer formulation with high light alloy housing boasting anti geometry characteristics permitting smooth movement of the arm as the wheel moves up and down. Complemented by a front bushing utilizing an oversized heavy duty crush tube, resulting in dramatic im(more…)
