I've had mine for years - it's not bad. The coilovers themselves and other mods are worse, lol.

^^ they make some that have rubbery isolators for the springs. I've just bolted them up to one of my cars, will see how they do eventually.

I realized that other than the title shenanigans, I haven't actually commented. You've done a shitload of work here, dude. Keep it up! Excited to see all the fabrication.

i really want to buy those ground control top hats but i'm worried about NVH for a daily.

love this build!

[jeenyus]

looks great. very interested to see those settled and see how the geometry of the CV axles line up with that amount of a drop.

[nomansland92]

Lol better then a hole and that's the only parts of the abs left besides the one sensor I used for my speed sensor :)

I like how the abs sensors are still hanging out of the knuckles

^ finally fixed it, thanks 2mAn for showing me lol [emoji14]

Unfortunately I couldn't finish the trans mounts because I decided to wait till I get the driveshafts back since they will determine the final height of everything. So I spend a little time on the suspension which was long over due.

Got some race inserts and cut the tubes down

Used the old shock to keep it straight while I tacked it up.


Finally done with the mig and can back to the tig so much more fun!



I wasnt thinking and bought these m3 sway bar links cause they would be easy to shorten but then realized I could have just bought some heim joints and used the round stock I already have and built my own for probably less then 20 bucks but all well to late now.





All done and ready to have some suspension travel!

Classic.

The other day I wondered if it would be possible to put transmission mounts on the IX along with the TC mount. It doesn't make sense that an RWD car has 2, almost 3 mounts, but the IX has a single mount.

Definitely possible, I'll post some pics in a few days of mine. It will be slightly different but you'll get the idea
