But today after a quick freeway and road run, it's almost back to normal... I will wait a week or so before I get it aligned...

Just went for the first test drive since I put it in. Man oh man, this thing has new life. I highly recommend this kit. IT CAN'T BE BEAT! However I will truely know how strong it is as time goes on, but for the first drive, I am truly impressed. I went with Ground Control RSMs. $97 shipped, very good and strong and beefy, and race ready for you auto Xers
postscript: My old springs were so old, two of them litterly snapped in half when I was wedging them off. My struts were so old, you can push them down into the shock with little effort. | | | | | 10-13-2008, 05:44 PM | #57 | | Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Dublin, Pa Posts: 57 |
I just received my set last week. $395 plus $45 shipping to eastern pa. Very nice looking. For all interested I will take some pics of the set. Not sure when I will get it installed. I have adjustable Koni's on the car right now with the stock springs. Put them on at about 90k. I am sure that there are plenty of other parts worn out by now that I am at 160k. Rear subframe bushings look shot. __________________
