Title: Check it out man!
Post by: blu84302 on January 13, 2007, 12:33:06 PM
I was gonna name this thread 2 low 4 a fat ho... But anyway.  :pics-stfu:

So here we go... Got some suspension work done yesterday.  Took about 8 full hours but it is done.  Enjoy the pics.

Starting out...  Eibach Springs 2 inch drop, CHE uppers/lowers,  Front and rear spring pads and isolators,  New front rotors from Complete brake service in columbus, (5 lug, t-bird 10 inch) Found them from the coolcats site.  New pads and stabilizer link kits, also...

heating up the bolts really made this too easy!  Notice all the spring helpers in the old springs?

I do need some different rims.  2003 Cobra R's probably.  Right now i'm running a 225/75/15!  The tires are huge and they fill up the wheel wells.  I think i'll wait til it's painted before i put some nice rims on it.  It feels so good to finally put some money into this beast.  I've decided to save her because she has so much history, and just about everyone knows at least one story about her.
