Thanks, I found a Eibach Pro-Kit supplier here in my town, he's actually a good friend of my dad's, I take my car to get aligned there. I'll go see him tomorrow.

I just went through my receipts, but couldn't find it. Hmfff. FWIW, it was in SW Calgary. I think ~$400 was after tax. You might do better than that with our relatively good exchange rate these days.

Heres a link to a random on-line US dealer. Prices seem to be in the $250 to $270 USD range.

Lol, you linked us to the one that doesnt fit the 4V-M50TU

I got tired of waiting so I took it into Photoshop. Throwing star wheels. Nice effect from painting the centers black. I'll have to try that on a set sometime.

There you go.

attack eagle: Good to see you here. I have a lift, airtools, press, etc.
Which bushings are these? Can you link me to the Kmacs rear bushings?
Also, whats your current ride height that you have the Kmacs to 0

---

they aren't set to 0 anymore, and the car is 3 feet in the air at the moment so I can't measure it, but I tuck the rear tire into the fenderwell just a little, & the car is perfectly level, neither nose high or low.
I wore thru the inner shoulder of brand new tires in 3k miles before correcting it, and now after 8-9k on the new tires they are still in excellent shape.

Got mine from Turner, they were the least expensive source.
pictars of ride height... about as low as is practical IMO

This Touring looks like it's got a 95 wide grill conversion and the Bauhaus monochrome paint job.

I'd just throw some Eibachs under it.

Coil overs are overkill for a street car

Great Pics, thats the height I want when I'm done with the suspension. Still got a good amount of clearance while still looks clean.

So whats your suspension setup from top to bottom? Shock, Springs, Bushings, etc

Appreciate it, Thanks.

AFAIK and IIRC from looking at the PO's receipts and talking to him, it is UUC progressives and bilstein sports with the SLS delete from maximillian. Nothing fancy or exotic.
no mention of 3mm spring pads up front... but it sure looks like it already has them or could use them.
KMAC RTABs to dial the rear suspension back to Mtech alignment specs.

Great driving car, but we have smooth roads. Rear is completely smooth, front is a bit harsh on broken pavement.
VERY steep driveways, speed bumps, or entranceways can be problematic as I've dragged the exhaust a couple of times, but for the most part it is not low enough to worry about anything other than parking back from curbs and stoppies.

I don't recognize the first 2 abbreviations, sorry. The UUC Progressives I couldn't find on the UUC website. The Bilstiens should be easy to find.

What do the 3mm spring pads up front do for the suspension/height?

I'm assuming the RTABs are the eccentric bushings you were talking about earlier?
