I've been playing with.....no that's by myself again, since no one wanted to play "figure out the 12 parts" for the coilover conversion. First let me say I am totally thankful 10 times over for Benzoboi and the people at the shop who did the conversion for getting it done. Epic..groundbreaking..ballsy..fantastic work...(I think this is where i'm supposed to insert some of those emotive thingies where I'm bowing down.) Seriously, If I lived out there I'd be sweepin shop and waxin car. Thanks again guys. Never thought I could love my car anymore than I did, but with this coilover revolution upon us, my love for the car is at a boilover. Since my entire family and both my dogs (and my friend) recently died I find myself sitting in a tiny room with a big computer obsessed with, "what are those 12 parts???????????? I believe I have the correct diagram for the rear suspension now...talk about exciting..

Part #90 must be the correct control arm (guide) 2113501806 $130 each parts.com
Part #170 is necessary I believe. It looks like a bracket that clamps the bottom coil to the perch. 2114270541 left, 2114270641 right. $4 each
Part #180 might be required (bracket to spring link) 2114270941 $2 each
Part #190 Cover, would be advisable. 2113520388 $8 each
That's 8 parts. And now the front:

Part #90 seems like a gimmy. 2113200026 $48
Part #60 I'm not sure about. 2113210084 $19 Since I need 2 more parts for my dozen, I'm going with them. There you have it, 12 parts.
I truly hope Benzoboi and Serge are having a good laugh somewhere at my expense with a nice drink in their hands. God knows I'm just bored. People with self-worth, common sense, dignity, energy, and anything else you can think of that I don't possess, are encouraged to play.

Update: Another sleepless night has passed wrestling with the 12. How could I have been so foolish as to include the covers...I'm striking them from the list, and adding 2 of a part I must have been smoking something to have forgotten...the rear spring upper insulators...2113250384 $8. Since this part comes in varying thicknesses as in shim, I am going with the 13 mm ones. So for now, scratching the covers and going with the upper rear spring shims(insulators) part #30 in the pic. Anyone know what the hell part 40 is for?
