      no, not junkyard setup.

      and nothing in this world will make a 20yo car get 15 mpg better than factory estimates.

      fixed my driveshaft shake, had a driveshaft bolt snap at some point. problem fixed.

        It was beautiful :(
        I was able to tuck rim on my 16" in front if I wanted to with suspension travel. Castro and I chuckled at the madness when finishing it up around 3am that night.
        The poopy part of it was my highest setting was about a finger gap, which isn't cool for long freeway abroad trips.

        I'll be back.

              Sounds like you'd be jealous for my new setup. Only sectioned out 2" instead of 3".

                        absolutely not. but there are many ways to improve mpg. i was cruising at 50mph entire way. even going 55 can improve mpg by 25%.
