Car's at the suspension shop right now getting her whole new suspension installed

Ingalls Adjustable Front and Rear Balljoint Camber Kit
Omni Power Street Adjustable Height Coilovers
Tanabe/Cusco Front Lower Strut Brace
Suspension Techniques Front and Rear Sway bars

Damn, I want my thread back :hijacked: got enough pics smilies up? It was too dark by the time I got home to take pics, and my batteries were dead, by the time i got new ones, it was dark. I'll take some 2morrow morning. It was TOO low, the lower strut bar was scraping on everything and the wheels were rubbing, had to raise it up a little bit bring on the flame for that, but now it's driveable, we rushed at the end, and didn't adjust the rear all the way, so that needs lowered a bit more, but damn it's slammed. Suspension is SO stiff, and with all the urethayne bushings, the sways, the drop and the strut brace, it turns SO tight. Pics tomorrow morning, sorry for the delay, and yes I scrape everywhere! Let the whoring continue

Damn, you guys raped my thread, I expect nothing less but hey w/e. Here are some quick pics I snapped, like I said the rear needs lowered a bit, and the front may come up about 1/2 inch, cuz it's hard to drive around here with the tires rubbing. Love it so far, like I said before it's stiff as hell! Here's a few quick pics. After I get her aligned and the heights adjusted to where I want them, wash her, and put my hood back on, I'll do a better photoshoot. Here's a few to get an idea though
Tuckin wheels in the front
Side view, you can see the back needs to come down a little more
My 2 foreign babies
No more 4x4 on this whip, but def still a bit of wheel gap
Pillow mounts
Tanabe/Cusco Lower Strut brace, already scraped the hell out of this thing, you can see the front sway.
Shot of the Omni's installed, had to jack up the car to take a pic!
ST rear sways, these things are HUGE compared to the stock ones
Back to front, you can see the sways, and the cusco brace

Upper Control Arm Bushings
Front Sway Bar Bushings (ST links and bushings)
Radius Arm Bushings
Rear Sway Bar Bushings (ST links and bushings)
Lower Control Arm Bushings
Also Front Ball Joints with Ingalls Adjustable Camber Ball Joint Kit.
He didn't have time to put the rear camber washers in, I will probably do this myself.
Thanks for the comments, nothing like dumping 2 grand into your suspension for a hard days work.
