    Default New suspension is all in.

    Finally got the Sachs Kit in and all the other front end parts to make if a new ride. I love the feel of the kit, no more body roll on corners or front end dives. Thanks to all those that helped me out. I ended up having to burn out the rubber ont he rear shocks and get a pipe wrench on hte rusted welded in piece.

    One more question. How do you get the photos at the bottom of your posts?

    Glad to hear that you got your kit in...sorry that the stuff fused together; now you can join my club - Anti-Seize Grease Freaks

    ...hopefully you used a lot of it when putting the new stuff on..

    if your talking about the signature pictures you will have to add a link to your picture in your signature. Pic has to be hosted on the web somewhere.

    Josh, maybe when you and I ordered the kit, they lost money on us, so they had to jack the price

    acutually, i paid 690. the change happened this year. like jan 1st or something like that. I dont remember =x. If i knew, I would have ordered it before Jan. =x.

    It really sucks. =,( but its still worth it. Cheaper than my other option (h&r/koni's).
