Suspension

 

There isn't going to be much here that will remain stock. I have already replaced the rear shocks and front struts with KYB's Gas Adjust versions. Also the front and rear springs have also been upgraded to Hotchkis model 1903 1" drop springs. I am also planning on replacing the front suspension components with PST's performance polygraphite front end kit, and I will also be replacing the rear end parts with Hotchkis model 1801R rear suspension package. At this point I have the 15 inch T/A wheels and have no plans to replace them, I have always liked how they look and will probably have them cleaned, buffed and polished. I haven's decided on the type of tiers either but expect to have something in the range of 255/50R15 in the back and 245/60R15 in the front. That and the springs will probable lower the car about 2 or so inches from stock to aid in her handling.

Finally got all my springs and shocks on the car. Actually I have had my shock/struts on for a while along with the rear springs but finally got the font springs on about a month ago. Couldn't tell too much on how it sits but I also have the four banger in it right now. When I get the 8 in it that should lower it quite a bit.
