intrax springs installed
i picked up some intrax springs on the 'bay earlier this week. guy shipped em hella quick so i went into work today (day off) and threw em in. since its mostly for looks im still using the stock delphi shocks. installation was a breeze and the alignment was not what im used to so it was actually fun.
god i am so much in love with this car. such a blast to drive. no wonder i dont have a girlfriend.
i know, i need to find another spot besides this church.

this is killing my suspension. i looked at my LCAs and man the angle is steep. i need some relocation brackets. then my tie rods are really bad too. bump-steer ends are way too expensive tho.
and my stock shocks arent going to last long. i can tell by the way this thing rebounds from bumps. oh well, just what happens when you own a badass car...

Haha, well put.
I still don't know how my stock shocks are doing so well after having lowing springs for almost three years on the car. The adjustable panhard bar and strano sway bars did a lot to improve the ride. I'll probably get some strano shocks along with their springs when I do upgrade so I'll have their entire package and a suspension made to work together.

im actually surprised, i dont need an adjustable panhard bar. the rear end sits perfect. the tires stick out the exact same from the fender on either side.
when i get shocks its probably going to be bilstein HDs. i'd love some koni SAs but those are out of my budget right now.

probably not. i think im done with the exterior. i think im getting more realistic with this car. the exterior needs nothing. no clear side markers, chrome letters, nor CETA. it looks AWESOME as it is.
im going to put money into more important things...no, not performance, paying off credit cards and moving into my own place
