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.

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.

Did this today.


And washed the wheels.

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

[ck_taft325is]

I am not satisfied, Josh.

[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]

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]

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.

[Wishno87]

Getting ready.

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

[LuckyHenriksen]
