Well, my ultimate goal was to have the car roadworthy before our baby was born. We're now 10 days past the due date and tomorrow we're heading to the hospital for a little "help" with having a baby. I decided I should just go ahead and put the car back together...
A little before shot...
Now, after:
I still need to work on the stance, since it's sitting a little low in the rear. I did adjust the side-to-side height after disconnecting all the sway bars and trying to settle the suspension.
It's a marked improvement over the stock suspension. The stock was in OK shape, so it's not a dramatic difference. The Koni's are still set to full soft so it rides a little firmer, but I can feel the stiffer spring rate and the bigger sways.
Sway are set to the middle on the front and full soft on the rear. I hoped that would set me up with an understeer condition which would be fine to start off with.
It corners quite flat and under full braking there is a great reduction in nose dive.
I still need to get a professional alignment since I just did it with my tape measure. It drives surprising well considering...
Now, time for :zzz: since I'm going to need it... :)
