Unless I missed something and Sick has $12k in cash!?

My brother did them, he is used to installing suspension from his old job (Autotrix). I helped pass along tools and helped when he needed an extra set of hands. Took us about 5 hours. Taking out the back seat is a bitch. Front is very easy.

its not worth 12k yet... still not running. going to start that project tonight and tomorrow morning. Wondering if i should take the chance and use the wiring harness that came with the motor or if i should just stop being a baby and take the old one off and put the new one on. Seems to be intact and i cant find any breaks or cuts in the wires or the loom so maybe

took me about 4 the first time i did it, then 2 the second time. probably going to be faster when i end up selling my springs and shocks and getting coilovers! im getting good at tearing this car down like i was with my 2k maxima

When I lowered my suspension, I spent a whole day looking for replacement parts...

Broke these damn things.

Then stripped the bolts holding up the suspension to the frame behind the back seat. Took two days to install. Now I could prob do it in 2 hours...
