Default suspension stuff done :) pics

ok im about 99% done. i still have some minor work to do like get it to run and do the steering rack bushings and paint my rear rims (riding on doughnuts, lol)

so heres some pics for everyone. putting everything back together took me 5-6 hours. was definitely harder to put back together they it was to take apart.

enjoy














with wheels back on (note the doughnuts, lol)

i lowered the car an inch in the front and i guess an inch the the rear too. i think the stance looks a lot better.

and on a side note this is why you dont buy spark plug wires from advanced auto parts.... ****** wires :angry:

cool stuff

I bolted my swaybar endlinks upside down from you. Less chance of grabbing something along the road.

it doesn't hit the axles either.

and nice top hats! I made mine...so they don't look as nice as thoses

i'd search for the graphic, but, it's like this

when you lower your car, the shock piston is lower in the shock... and has less travel within the piston.

well, if you RAISE the top hat where the shock bolts to, you regain any travel that is lost when you lower the car.
