My 89

[Detlman]

Here are a couple pix of mine, first is how I bought it a couple months ago, the last 2 are after I installed the springs and sways this weekend.

Hr sport cup kit...rides really really good i was very suprised how well it does ride even on bumps as low as it is. looks good low :)

I have wheels that are going on this week.









Here is one with the wheels.

It does look nice low.

It rides well, because the springs are fairly soft. Nothing to do with height.

[Detlman]

true but considering I took 189k stock blown stuff off and it rides as smooth and handles the bumps better. I know what you mean though and due to that I was hesitant to buy the cup kit. BUT for a daily driver this is a nice setup! If it were a track car I would have gone a different route for sure.

When I took the strut housing off I poured the stock cartridge out of the housing...lol

Nice car, why is the hood half shiny?

[Detlman]

I was screwing around and wet sanded and buffed half the hood to see if I could make it come back to an acceptable level untill I decide to paint it. It will come back Ijust havent had the time to finish it...lol

Looks like you should finish, the difference is huge.

[Detlman]

yeah I will sooner or later, at the end of the day its still a marginal repaint :) But it will get me by for a year or so till I am ready for paint. I am just trying to get everything else sorted out and then I will detail proper. I still need to do the timing belt, roll the fenders, put on the wheels, get some front seats, do the brakes...and the list goes on. Oh and the exhaust too...hahahaha

Maybe at some point I will toss a turbo on? I love power :)

Hawthorne, Lawndale area I take it right?

I work in El Segundo around Aviation and Rosecrans, you should roll with some of my buddies and I to BFest. I know, I know, your car is no shape to go that far without being embarrased, we all feel the same way. If you can't go to BFest just hang out with us we are about 30 strong and the community keeps growing!

I found them for $671 shipped, they arent hard if you have a lift and tools. I did mine at work in about 2-3 hours including sway bars, and I was goofin with people at work so I wasnt in any rush to get it done.
