Whew, just finished it tonight, another project is complete. Heres what I did:

Front end rebuild:
Inner and outer tie rods, centerlink, idler arm and balljoints. I used the coleman racing hex tubing and jam nuts for the tie rods instead of the stock stuff.

I removed the A-arms, wire wheeled them and painted them with POR-15, installed poly bushings on them as well.

Replaced the springs with Hotchkiss springs and replaced the stuts with koni reds to match whats out back. I also replaced the upper strut mounts, the old ones were fine but while I was doing everything else, thought I might as well.

Finally I totally redid the Brakes. I installed C4HD brakes with 13" crossdrilled and slotted rotors, dual piston PRB calipers and Earls SS brake lines.

I have to go get an alignment tomarrow and take her for a spin.

Looks good, Man!!!

 

that looks awesome!!

wut Hotchkiss springs did you go with ? any lower than the stock height?

inspiring:hail: :hail:

 

Yes I went with the ones with a 1" drop. I wanted a little less fendergap, but I don't want too much of a drop so I screw up my chin, especially with the angled and inclined driveway I have.

 

NICE!!!

lookin damn good, im going to do a brake upgrade here soon too!! where did you pick up your drilled and slotted rotors?

 

Well so much for getting the car aligned today. I went to the shop and they said there was no one there to do it. I was going to drive to another about five miles away but I didn't want to go there only to be turned away again. But as I was walking back to the car I must say the stance is very nice with the new springs. I did not expect such a change as the old and new springs looked very similar in height, was I wrong! Unfortunately my airdam scraped everytime I enter or exit the garage What a scary sound.

I have got to get it aligned and see what she can do.

-Whoops almost forgot, as far as the rotors, ask Ed (ebmiller88).

 

the air dam is about 22 bucks, easy to change and pretty tough. dont sweat it, it willadjust it self as it wears!

 

Yeah I have taken it off before, though I didn't know it was that cheap for a new one. The reason the sound bothers me so much is that I am never sure if it is the airdam or the front ground effect.
