Installed MOOG replacement springs front and rear. Car sits about 3 inches higher back to stock position. The old springs had sagged.

Along with the Tokico struts/shocks, wonder bar, 36 mm front sway bar, and 23 mm rear sway bar the car is very stable in the corners and doesn't even hop much when I hit a hard bump when doing hard cornering. Also, doesn't drag anymore when I go over speed bumps.

It jars me a little harder when I go slow over pot holes and bumps, but smooths out if I drive a little faster.

Best of all, no blood, or blunt trauma from replacing the front springs. Used a spring puller and chained locked the compressed springs. I paid attention to all of you who warned of the danger of flying springs inflicting severe damage to body parts.

Now on to my next project cleaning up the throttle body to get rid of intermittent back fires or engine sag when pressing the throttle. New IAC and TPS helped some. Maybe if I get rid of all the carbon build up, it will get rid of all the back firing. Parts store sold me a can of super sludge remover, but warned me not to leave parts in tub overnight or I will only have steel bolts left; no aluminum parts.

 

Now put some subframe connectors on it...

Go to a store and get Purple Power. I bought the big bucket, but you will probably want to just get a gallon. Mix a few ounces of the PP with water, take EVERYTHING off of the TB, and throw the TB in the tub. After 2 days, the TB will be almost brand new clean after you hose it off. You will probably need to reseal the upper half of it, though. That's how I cleaned my heads and intake.

 

Agree on the SFCs.

I've got a couple of spray bottles of Purple Power. I plan to take the car to a DIY spray wash. Hope to clean up the engine by using the spray to wash off Purple Power on a warm engine. A friend told me that trick.

Advance sold me a gallon of "Gunk Carburetor Parts Cleaner." It includes a parts basket. Don't know if it will work as well as PP, but the parts man swears by it. Directions say to soak parts for 20 minutes. Warning label says metal only; it will melt paint, gaskets, rubber, and plastic. Didn't realize I was buying such caustic, toxic soup. Guess I'll be using it outside wearing gloves and safety glasses.
