new kyb shocks / struts .. and poly bushings .. gotta question?
i just finished putting in new kyb gr-2 struts / shocks .. and i got a complete set of energy suspension poly bushings ..
put on all the shock / struts .. the old ones were trash .. the piston would just fall into the base when i pulled it up ..
neways ..
put on new poly front sway bar mounts / end links ..
set the car back on the ground .. and now it sits up about 1" higher than it was ..
is this normal b/c the shocks were shot ..
also .. how long should i expect to spend putting the whole bushing set in when i get some time to do it ..
i put a set in my 89 mr2 and it was a HUGE pain in the a$$, i had to take a oxyacetylene torch to the old bushings then put it on a press
