Re: rebuilding my suspension
you forgot the beer...I ------- hate doing suspension bushings.
personally, if I was you I'd just do the whole tie rod setup instead of just boots, and as long as I was in there doing all of this ----, I'd throw ball joints in for good measure. |
Re: rebuilding my suspension
yes the beer and someone who knows wtf they are doing lol

Re: rebuilding my suspension
you better do ball joints. ask anyone (including me at around 50mph) whose had them fail while you are driving. it's not pretty. especially when there is a 3 foot tree to stop you. totaled my 94 si hatch. it is cheap insurance if you ask me. lifetime waranty from advance is 30 a piece. the cheap ones are 10 or so.

Re: rebuilding my suspension

EN FTW :8 |
Re: rebuilding my suspension
If you're feeling cheap and daring, you should try the egay dropzone shocks. I've put them on 2 cars now, both with skunk2 springs that lower about 2.5 in, and they handled like a dream. Rode smooth, cornered well. I think it was about $150 for all 4, and they supposedly have a lifetime warranty, though it might be hard to cash in on that. The first car that i used them on i put a solid 10k+ miles on them before someone destroyed my car and I sold it to a puerto rican. The second car i drove for a week without a title and got enough tickets to discourage me from ever doing that again. :1

180 btw still 60 bucks cheaper than my set picked out |
Re: rebuilding my suspension
well i bought the kyb gr2's and that energy suspension kit
now its to advanced to get tie rod ends and balljoints.... gd this is expensive |
Re: rebuilding my suspension
From LSD skunk2 struts are only $230 shipped. Seems like the best deal right now to me.
In the junkyard every single car I see in there with dropzone struts on them they are 100% blown out... Makes me not want them. I've seen at least 4 cars in the junkyard with those struts on them too. I do like DZ coilovers, but the struts scare me. |
