Getting to Erics house and jacking up
Started with the rears :tup:

Image


Old setup which was the blue springs compared to the new ones

Image


Image


Getting down to Business we thought that the new Sleeve was gonna be to tall so we cut it down bout 5 threads

Image


The ground control spacers was to thick for the sleeve to fit over so we trimmed them down

Image


Getting spring and spacer and strut all cleaned up and greasy :)

Image


Putting L screws into the sleeves

Image


After its all said and dunn put thew spring on and top hat on and she is ready to go

Image


And there she goes

Image


After the rears where done we took a break and Got started on the Fronts

Basically same process as the rears and we ended up with this :hs:

Image


when we put them on and lowered it all the way to the perch i still had a finger gap so u guys no what that means CUT PERCHES!!!!! :tup:

Image

Image

That says it all. My wheels are 16x8 et25. The REAL meaning of FLUSH. Not that gay Cali hella mexiflush YOU are accustomed to.

Look man. I will be the bigger man and end all this BS. Your car is nice..minus the stickers/rotas/drop. But that is my opinion. If it makes you happy keep it the way it is. As long as it makes YOU smile when you look at it..that's all that matters. Build your car to your likings. Post more pix!:smoke3:

Ps..YOU cant be a hater are your life. Give props to where its due.:tup:

this may be a dumb question but on the front struts, when you put the bearings into the ring, does the black cap that covers them go over top of the ring? I just noticed that i messed up the install and left the big black top spring holder in.

uf ur running gc's or coilovers then you need the ball bearing set up from the your oem spring tophat (the big round circle that sits on top your oem spring. Remove the ring and ball bearings, but be careful so you don't lose any of the balls). Your aftermarket setup should have an adapter plate thats going to sit on top of your springs, it's on top of this that your ballbearings and oem ring will sit and this becomes your new top hat for your aftermarket setup. Then just drop the triangle shaped pat with the three bolts ontop all this, tighten down the nut install in car and now ur set.

there's a thread somewhere about rokors/racelands that has pics of everything i'm talking about. It's titled something like "here comes the burn" in the suspension area

edit: here's the thread. has pics and info related to what you asked
