This is how it looked when I bought the car.



The parts:
ST full body coilovers.
ST Front Sway bar w/new sway bar bushings
ST Rear Sway bar w/new bushings.
New upper A-Arms
New upper ball joints
New Lower ball joints
New inner tie rods
New outer tie rods



1/2 way there:


All Done.
Final drop was a little over 3.5 inches.

 

You missed a bunch of pictures of the parts installed and wheels still removed!

and the drop is too low IMO, I'm not a fan of the tucked look, just a nice even gap all the way around looks best.

and I don't like the all white look, and the tint, and the color of the wheels.

haha, just my opinion though, take it with a grain.

exhibit a:

 

I'll try to get you those pictures tomorrow.

I don't like "gaps"

 

whats the question...???

 

Love it.

 

Did you have to take it for a wheel alignment afterward?

 

yeah the tint and wheel color kills i?f for me too, looks good though, you saved that Rex from Rice

 

Plan on it. Gotta add the front camber kit first. But there is no rush. I don't drive this car. It just sits at my shop.

 

108* in Fresno on Wednesday. I need the tint. Haha

 

i think you need smaller wheels. thats just my two cents.

 

no need for a camber kit. Just have toe adjusted

 

love blue c10s,

Same here no ofense, how much were those st coilovers? Im going to start looking for a full upgrade aswell. I got kyb gr2's for now.

 

I paid $806 shipped.

 

car looks good in the last pic...still too low for me, but better than before!
the front sway bars look almost identical, but nice work.

 

Why would you say that? The camber is off quite a bit.

 

So is this what the kids are doing now-a-days, rainbow wheels?

 

Kids?

Magnesium blue wheels are considered rainbow?

 

The large majority of your wear will come from the toe out caused by lowering the car. set it to zero and you won't need to waste the money on a camber kit. If you're not driving the car much, avoid the extra costs. The car will more than likely corner better with negative camber.

enjoy!

 

Nice that's gonna be my budget for a coilover setup.

 

Thanks Manny. I did some research today about the camber/ toe discussion. Youre 100% right.
