Slykin Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Front suspension is being tore apart now... Here's one of the fronts put together. Everything is very good quality.. very solid. Putting together the coil-overs is not hard, all I needed was a chair to sit on, bearing grease, and a small file. I'll have more pictures tomorrow as I get the balljoints, inners, and struts in. What's going in: Front and rear coil-overs on Bilstein MM-2's with 400lb/275lb springs. Solid steering rack bushings New Moog Balljoints New Moog Inner Tie-RodsWhat's coming in the next couple weeks: Solid Steering Shaft Bumpsteer Kit Poly Sway Bar Bushings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slykin Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Looks great. Are you sure you're supposed to use the dust boot with coilovers?Yep, that's what the instructions told me to do. I think I'm supposed to leave the rear ones off though, I haven't built those yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slykin Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Oh, and for anyone who cares, the Bilstein Strut shaft is humongous compared to the stockers. They're actually pretty hefty struts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 This makes me want to order my suspension.... Hmmm credit card Let us know how much of a difference.Go for it! Suspension mods are the best!It's going to be redonkulous. EVERYTHING in my front suspension is shot. I think tomorrow i'll grab some pictures to show just how bad the BJs, swar bar bushings, shocks etc are. I actually used a sawzall to cut my passenger side strut off.. the nut wouldn't come off. Not to mention I can hear my inner tie rods clicking at low speeds.put a camera on the dash. i want to see some bouncing tits! lolYeahhh... maybe if I ever got a hooker girlfriend haha.

Slykin Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 And yeah there is no way in hell I'd ever pay for any action! I have too high of standards which is a big reason I didnt get married till 29. Had to find a hot enough wife who I could deal with for eternity!! LolHaha, now THAT is what i'm talking about. Women are too expensive/PITA to date "just for fun". Everyone keeps asking me when i'm gonna get hooked up... Psh. I'll spend my money on my car until I find "the one". I'm pretty dang picky... and mellow. You should make a thread then, I wouldn't mind seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferocious Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm so jealous. I need to invest in some suspension parts... my car currently rides like a civic on cut springs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slykin Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm so jealous. I need to invest in some suspension parts... my car currently rides like a civic on cut springs...Your struts are either shot, or don't work with your lowering springs. I had sportlines on my car in the back and it bounced like crazy until I stuck your stock springs in. It was roughly as low as your car at the time.

AZSN95SNAKE Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I jizzed just looking at them in the pics. that's freakin awesome!

Are you going to go slammed? or is it purpose driven?better take care of that girl issue lol spending money on your car is just an excuse for not having one lol. been there done that, still there lol. I make the same excuses lol.you better make a new driving impressions thread along with pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
