Awesome. Can't wait to do my coils :)

Very, very nice. THAT'S a satisfying post.

[Wishno87]

Getting ready.


Goodies



Strut tubes modified



Rear adjuster



Fronts

[Wishno87]

Well I want the front probably about 3/4 to an inch lower. Might just take out the adjuster in the rear and run a fat spring pad.The front is already all the way down though so I need to consider my options for going that last inch lower.

[ck_taft325is]

Well.





This is a 2.25" 4" spring, no adjuster or pads. It's too low to actually drive. Seriously.





Center flange on the exhaust was 5/8th's of an inch from the ground on a level surface:









How low do you want it to sit? ;)

[Wishno87]

Haha sorry guys. Took this one today. Need to let the springs settle down before I can make actuate judgments but I think I will still want to go lower. Will look at the option of a one inch shorter spring. Have pics of the install but cant find my memory card right now.

[ck_taft325is]

I am not satisfied, Josh.

[Matt-B]

ya updatsorz! Sorry I could not help, did not have a car when 3 o clock rolled around

[ck_taft325is]

Pictures. Stat.

[Wishno87]

Did this today.


And washed the wheels.

[Wishno87]

Nice.

Camber/Toe adjustments will be nice. What are you going with?

Probably the weld In setup. Doing full poly while I'm in there. My car has 200k on the original rubber and I can really feel the slop.

[ck_taft325is]

Nice.

Camber/Toe adjustments will be nice. What are you going with?

[Wishno87]

Haha ya that would probably be worse. Spent about 7 hours on and off doing it so by the time I was done the car was almost dry. Not looking forward to when I rip it all out again to do camber, toe adjustments though.

[ck_taft325is]

That suuuuucks. Similar thing happened to me except James Criv. was standing there tapping the damned fender asking me "Are you done yet?" every 5 minutes.

[Wishno87]

Very nice. That's a bitch of a job. I don't care what anyone says. On your back sucks.

I just got back from driving around in the pouring rain too so I had dirty water dripping on me the whole time

On a plus side now I don't always feel like Im going to spin out if I apply any throttle while going around a corner.
