Finished installing the coilovers and so far I'm very happy.

It sits higher than I want it to but Ill have to wait to downsize the tires before I can drop it to where I want it.

Super easy install too. I can adjust the shock rebound by lengthening or shortening the shock and the compression can be adjusted from above with an allen wrench. It gets really stiff if I want it to be.

Were the OEM shocks kaput?

Not sure. Looked like something leaked out of one or two. I wouldnt be suprised.

Did you keep them or throw them out?

Cars looking great kid

Still have them. You needem?

thanks man

Possibly! Were they behaving incorrectly before you pulled them? I have over 313k on factory shocks and I'm diagnosing some odd behavior under acceleration: the rear end dances center-to-right under acceleration and it's downright dangerous. I think it's because of a crash years ago where the left side went up 6 feet in the air and came crashing down; I still have that same shock and it might have given in a spectacular fashion years after the accident.

But real OE shocks are not in production; I'm curious if I can find a decent set of used OE shocks to test with.

You can have these if you'd like just pay shipping.

Id guess your rear end issue is related to subframe or diff bushings. My friend had a similar problem.



These shocks seemed fine. Car was really smooth and straight on the highway but I haven't really done any super long driving.

I'll PM you on Facebook or something so we can exchange details!

Sounds good

Messin around

Every time I drive this(and I dont drive it a lot), its a thumbs up from someone

Pulled out the fuel sending unit yesterday and the wires on the fuel pressure sensor looked really bad.

Replaced them and hoping thatll get rid of my check engine light.

Yikes, those wires are really shot. Good you didn't get and shorts or sparks

Yea man I dont know if there was potential for that to happen but open wires is not good no matter what the case.

Waaaaaa bro.,

you ROCK with your gorgeous bride..

-;-ZAYED-;-

Car is looking fantastic, PJ.

Thanks guys. Shes been in the shop for a few days getting diagnosed for the P0450 ceck engine light.

Been trying to clean the two tone seats in the mean time. Gonna fit them in when I get time to see hownit looks.

Seats look awesome!

Swapped the fuel pressure sensor and sending unit and that seems to have solved my check engine light.

I think the car should be ready for smog tomorrow after a bit more driving.

my goodness it looks so good on those 2 piece 18's

Passed smog. Gonna work on dialing in the suspension next. Tires need to be downsized for more aggressive and lower stance.
