so i took everything down today in the morning.. i went with gr2,s and im expected to get the sportlines tmrw morning from jegs..... this was the first time taking down the hole a arm and spindle..it was easier than i thought... the spindle hasnt came off yet.. i have the bushings which im taking tomorow to get pressed in.. how much would they charge me? i dotn want to get ripped of or something.. because they did it to my friend... im taking my time and i am painting alot of stuff for the detail...along with that i bought the tie rod sleeves form my work and they dont even work with the tie rod ends.. the stock ones where causing major wear on the outside of the rim.. any advice working on tie rod ends?? my old ones (outer ones)look bent.. maybe the way i would jack up the car?? overall the car needed major work on the front end suspension..



btw me and my brother put some one but this was few years ago..i forget which springs are which.. so once they arrive i want to get the car back on its feet..there are skinny one that are thin and thicker ones that are shorter... ???

here are some pictures

 

beefier shorter ones go in the front... and yea dude get some new tie rods and change those endlink bushings.. my pep boys has a set of the polys for $10 so you can keep the hardware (that is if you dont break it taking it apart)

 

yeah im re doing all the bushings..

 

lol im doing the same thing i actually posted right below u. i have my sportline springs and had them for a few months, i was looking into shocks and struts a good performance peice that wont break my budget. i was looking at the KYBs gr2 but they arent to great on the performance side and they are really cheap...they also dont recomend them for cars lowered than 1.5" and our sportline springs will drop our cars 1.6" front and 1.3 rear...u might have drivability problems, or u might bottom out the shock/strut and destroy it. let me know how they turn out and drive and look, im gona be ordering my shocks within the next few days. im thinkin of goin TOKICO blue HP at all 4 corners for 290$ but if ur Gr2's work out good and are only 140$ total thats a better deal.

and replace all the suspension peices, get new tie rods inner and outer etc, new ball joints and poly bushings for sway bar/endlinks and front lower control arms, u might as well upgrade while its out and the differance will be AMAZING trust me.

 

yup.. takin my time painting everythign too.. i heard postive feedback with that combo.. yeah i was on a budget. but.. it should be 10x better than my 200k+++++ original suspension.. lol

 

This was one of the simplest installs I've done. It cost me about $60 to have the old bushings pressed out and the new ones pressed in. You won't even need a spring compressor to get the new springs in since they are so much shorter than the others. I did this whole job by myself in a few hours on my t/a 2 weeks ago. Now I have to do it all over again on the Formula.

 

got the job done today actually i did need a spring compressor.. looks good and rides pretty good .. couldnt beat the price on those shocks..

 

Pics?

 

they ride good? they shocks arent too soft for the springs and u havent had any bottoming out problems? i could save alot of $ buy doing your setup, does anyone recomend putting the GR2's on the front and gas-a just in the rear? just to stiffin things up or would that not be good to interchange like that

 

i need to do my rear coils... and tie rod ends...

 

That looks awesome dude!
