My "new" Suspension
Hello all, I just spent the weekend changing the timing and balance shaft belts as well as "harvesting" the suspension out of my buddy's car. Here is what it looked like for my neighbors.
The setup as was told to me includes the following parts:
Weltmeister Swaybars
Revalved Bilstein Turbo Cup Struts
350# springs in front and rear
Custom billet front upper spring hat
KMR Camber plates
Front strut tiebar (Forgot the maker)
Once I'm out of "wrench turning overload" I'll have to install all this stuff.
Just had to share

Hmmm, looks like I wasn't the only one to stumble upon a used coilover setup 
How are you mounting the rear shocks? Using the factory bolt or an adapter like Racer's Edge sells?
BTW: I have the following in my garage, just waiting for a package from ParagonProducts to begin install. The wait is just agonizing
Have:
Paragon Ride Height Kit
500# Hypercoils 2.5"
Revalved Koni Yellow Adjustables
Carrera Rear Coilovers 450# 2.25"
waiting for:
Racers Edge lower shock adapters
Racers Edge Camberplates
PS: Thats a great picture. What % grade is that?

The work wasn't too bad thanks to my "new" air compressor...air tools are great. Well, the hill is standard issue around San Francisco. I should measure the grade, but I have all this car work to do.....
