Slight suspension progress, cause GD sucks lately.
I've been working all day to get all this ---- cleaned, primered, and painted. The new energy suspension bushings went in last week, and Mikey Mike at LSD is sending me some new rotors. It seems the shuttle may be on its own feet again after all.

Re: Slight suspension progress, cause GD sucks lately.
There's a thread somewhere from the last two weeks called "getting high in the garage".
I sprayed the underbody with a new coating last week, and the suspension is the last obsticle before I can be done with the underside of the car. I can have it rolling on it's own wheels again, and then I can focus on the bodywork. The biggest thing is getting some of the stored suspension pieces back on the car so I have more storage space to keep the garage more organized.
I'm gonna finish the other side tonight, but the rears can't be done yet because I'm still waiting on the rear trailing arm bushings. The front is just waiting for the extended studs, and all the rotors and ---- still need to get here. I still remember driving this pile in the snow a couple years ago. lol

Re: Slight suspension progress, cause GD sucks lately.
They're skunk2 drag coilovers with tokico illumina struts. The struts I got used from a friend, and they weren't pretty anymore. On top of the fact they were bright *** white, and that's not stealth at all.
I've also concluded that I was smoking some crack when I shaved the mouldings off the doors, so I'll be cutting all that ---- out here soon.
Mikes sending me some slotted stock sized rotors with just better than stock pads. The car used to have drums in the back, but I added the discs now. It'll be basically stock sized disks all around, but the kicker is the V6 acura legend brake booster and master cylinder. I should be able to tap the brake and bust a 4 wheel skid.
