Suspension is Done

Finally got all the new suspension parts in. Eibach Prokit springs, KYB shocks, BMR LCA's and BMR Relocation brackets. Also thru in new ball joints while it was apart.

Here's my inpressions but I only got about an hour of driving before the rain came.

Wheel hop seems to be pretty much taken care of. It seems to plant the rear and leave better (even on my worn out Nitto's).
Definately recommend the LCA's and brackets.

Springs and shocks tightened things up alot. Corners are a little more fun now. It didn't really drop the car at all compared to the way it was sitting on the 15 year old springs and shocks.
One thing it didn't do which I thought it would was the rear still sits higher as well as the left side sitting lower.
Not sure why it didn't level things out but I'm happy with the everything else.

Bob

Funny...my stock spring setup sits lower on the rear passenger side than it does on the drivers side rear.... this can't be right and I assumed it was because there were old springs/shocks on it...

hummmm... wonder why the pass. side would sit lower???

I wouldn't mind going once or twice--if someone would lend me a set of et streets/drag radials. Mine are shot and won't hook at all.
