I'm not doing the AOS, mine is good and I don't need to spend more money atm.

Ill read up on that later but I have seen no reasons to give me major concern about them.

Consider the H&R 23mm & 26mm upgraded sways and a set of spacers
Currently having the PSS10'2 installed now can't wait to get the car back and for the weather to break up here in the Northeast. Thanks

Finally got some time to install the coilovers. I forgot to measure ride height before, doh! But I have it sitting at 25" ground to fender lip all around. I want it the lowest I can go but still stay in camber spec on stock strut mounts. Who knows fhe stock ride height of a C2?

Install was very simple, and for the rears I didn't remove anything but the sway bar end links. Which are being replaced when I get them in.

You new suspension looks great! what is your final ride height? Did you have it aligned and corner balanced yet? How does it drive? How long did the installation take? Did you need any special tools?

Sorry for the rapid fire questions. I am going to do this same upgrade.

Thanks,

Jim

Default On to the brakes!

Hi fellas, this week I am working on the brake system. I resurfaced the rotors at work and saved myself from buying new ones.
Hawk Ceramic Performance pads, SS lines, new sensor leads, and fluid flush are being done.

I also replaced the frunk struts.

The once the brakes are done, I will be mount the new Conti Extreme Contacts!

I have not set the final ride height yet. I want the coils to settle and I am currently working on the brakes.

Default Update

Hey everyone, just thought I would give an update on the car.
I took her to German Car Specialist here in my hometown of San Antonio, Texas and I cannot say enough about Berk and his Customer Service. Top notch service.
He and his team installed the LN Retrofit IMSB, RMS, EPS Clutch kit, transmission fluid flush, passenger side hard brake line(without removing the fuel tank!), and aligned her within OE Specs.

The car drives absolutely beautiful now with the new alignment and current ride height on the HRs.
