So me and my buddy put these in on wednesday but it took me a while to post pics b/c the car was dirty and i wanted to clean it
Everything was straight forward and we didnt really run into any problems...EXCEPT for the rearsuspension.
the bolt that connects the a-arm to the axel housing was PITA to get out AND put back in.
It took ALOT of moving around and ALOT of cursing to get those bolts to cooperate.
And my springs isolators came out no problem, no ripping or anything
My initial thoughts after lowering:
1. DAMN its low (especially in the front)
2. Much improved over stock ride quality.
3. I wish i had gone with more aggressive shocks. The ride is still softer than i woulda liked and the car seems to bounce a little over. But i suppose these shocks were right for the price
Problems:
1. Something keeps clunking on the right side. Its VERY annoying. Almost like an exhaust rattle but even more so.
2. I cant get into my driveway!!! It scrapes SOOO bad.
SeventyMach1, i think you wanted to know about the spacers for the MM CC plates. All i did was use however many the directions said to use. heres a pic of the sheet...
Now for some befores (from when my uncle owned my car)
...sorry i couldnt better before pics
Now for the Afters...
this one is RIGHT after i took it off the jack stands
after the clean up...
oh yeah...h&r ss springs, tokico blues (fox), mm cc plates, 1 in spacers out back
...ok the car doesnt seem that low in the pics...but it is!!
let me know what you think!
