no more H&R sports for me - 600f/700r GC 6" springs, same konis I had before (although the fronts need rebuilt)
unmolested ix struts
Old and new springs, the eibachs fit inside the H&Rs...
test fitting the adjusters for welding
perches and swaybar mounts cut and welded, ernie did an awesome fucking job too!
cleaned and painted:
all the way down (ignore the rear ride height, all my autox shit is in the back)
no, it isn't that low, but I wasn't looking to slam my car anyway. it ended up being about 1/4" lower all around, which is perfect for me. More imporantly, the ride quality actuall feels better, and I don't have to worry about tipping over around hard corners anymore ;)
I'm actually thinking I could have gone stiffer - I might try shorter springs too, I could go down to 5" springs with the same suspension travel I have now (not much, maybe 2" in the front!).
