J-Stock Goodness and fixed front end

[PeaveyBassist]

Well, these pics I just snapped tonight back at the 'rents house in Columbus since I was home for Mother's Day. If some of you dont know... I hit a van on Dec. 23rd and basically smooshed the front in pretty good (first pic at the bottom) and now almost all of the front end is fixed. Only thing that is left is putting a high beam on the d/s and getting another hood. The hood isnt that bad so I am not gonna care for a while. The d/s fender is also really oxidized I know, but again... its not smashed so I dont care. Last 3 pics are of the car with the new J-Stock suspension from Turner Motorsport. I got the springs and shocks from my boss for free back around November or so. Yes... FREE. They came off an e30 m3 only driven on the track and used for about 2-3 race seasons so they should be in pretty good shape. The shocks I got rebuilt by Bilstein and it cost $273 + new gland nuts (dunno how much those cost, just paid for em cus I needed em). The new engine should go in in a couple weeks hopefully but mine still runs so like I said before... I really dont care until mine stops running lol but it would be nice to have a decent engine :( Oh well, check it out guys.

Yea, I definitely wouldnt want to get the frame re-aligned.... that'd be way to practical!

Dude, what about Depo headlights? I heard those are really good when matched with lamin-x'd fogs and the Ryan G setup?

You did better on your J stock suspension than Charlie did.

How's the ride?

Less rough than the one I gave your mom.

Surprisingly liveable, but he's on soft 195/65s.

Will, you have PM.

looks good, dumped but good

Core support already got straightened ($550). I highly doubt the frame is bent since I was only going about 5mph when I damaged the front (other car was prolly going 10-15mph). You would be surprised how well all the panels line up. No shadowline, no IS lip ('i' lip instead), and no carbon fiber sticky stuff ;) lol. My next mod is a skid plate so I dont smack the oil pan :) And yes... ride is surprisingly livable on 195/65-14 Bridgestone Potenza RE910's. Rob, you got PM. If you wanna talk via phone, lemme know. I got a new phone number. How did I do better on the J-stocks than Charlie did? lol

Good luck w/new set up! .....rear looks low....using oe spring pad?


let us know how you likey?


did Bilstein do revalve? or TMS? If kit was from TMS, then why did u need revalve?..........

[PeaveyBassist]

I'm using whatever spring pads came with the car. I love the setup :) Bilstein rebuilt them, didnt revalve. The shocks originally came from TMS already valved for the J-stocks but since they were used on a race car for a couple years I decided to have them rebuilt.
