QUOTE(acox914 @ May 18 2003, 12:20 PM) the deed has been done! only took about an hour and a half. oh- the ride is so much better! a little tailhappy tho! (2.0 w.o swaybars) the 140 lb'rs are about twice as stiff as my saggy ones....great ride. now....anyone want to donate to my front suspension fund?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Tought shit! You started down the path and ther is no looking back! Get a 19mm sway bar, and maybe 20mm torsion bars. While you are at it, new ball joints, susp. bushings, turbo tie rods.......You are SOL! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |
