yea trash those rear spring pads

[Vivek]

Do you gots mad reverse rake now?

I do, but since the fenders are lower the car itself is fairly level.

Remove your spring pads in the rear, you will lose about another .5 - 1". I also used a regular 5/8 heater hose from the head to the plastic coolant pipe even though the part at the head is smaller. No problems

Ehh I was gonna do that but for one thing the pipe was kinda loose on the head no matter how tight i put the clamp on. And then like a retard I cut the hose too short 12 minutes after kragen closed. Mine from blunt will be in this weekend so it's okay....I'm gonna have to go to a pnp and grab some stock length lugs. Then I'll trade my rear 10mm spacers for 15's and get the fenders rolled to match. and I'll probably ditch my lower spring pads at least. I already (at least seem to) have a decent amount of toe and camber in the rear.

Gotta love them semi rear trailing arms :(

I gotta do all my rear bushings eventually, maybe I'll get raised subframe bushings. That should correct a bit and keep it looking stanced without burning through tires as much.

Dropped the front down (spun the coils down like an inch+) and the ride height didn't change at all. Already checked the e-brake. :shrug:

It was lower than this when I got it though. Then I raised it up, now I dropped it back down to the same height that I got it at. Same exact struts (and everything else up front) the whole time.

Got it running again. Changed the other main coolant hose from the rad to the tstat housing too because it was oil damaged. Put in some more coolant and distilled water and it runs fine. Didn't take it for a drive though because I'm tired.

Got this:

I've been doing car stuff since 8:30 am so I'm not sure if I can install it today, but tomorrow for sure.

Dude, as much hate as you get...I think it's pretty awesome you're doing all your own work n shit. Keep it up bro!

[Vivek]

Thanks :D

If you're on Billies, you aint going lower than your currently are. I'd be surprised if it was any lower.

Anyway, nice work! Keep it up.

[Vivek]

It should be on KYB's. The thing is it was lower when I got it. On the exact same shocks. All that I've changed was the height on the adjuster, and that's why I'm so stumped.

Thanks for the encouragement :D

Hello Vivek. (is that your real name?)


springs and stuff need to settle when you change the ride height. usually will happen with a day of driving.
