whitelines for LCA/Shock tower are like 60-70 bucks. Energey suspension compression is like 40-50 itself.

I Recommend this bushing to be replaced since you have the LCA arm out of the car anyways.

check with this guy on the energy compression as I am not sure if he has anymore left.

planning on it. still looking into rear tires but I might have to sit on the ones I have. I recently incurred an expense that I wasn't planning for. some auto-x stuff has been put on hold until I can get some crap sold.

besides swaping coils with jon, I did this over the weekend:

It was getting anoying hearing everything after removing my rear seat, so I had been planing on building a sepeartor dampening board that I could easily remove for track days... I decided while I was at it, I would relocate the speakers into it since their current posision in the rear is really bad for sound imaging. To further cut down on sound, I dynamatted the back of the board, and to make it look pretty, I put on some micro suede. it came out just as I had planned, which is awesome. as a secondary bonus, the car cools down a lot faster now that it doesn't also have to cool my trunk!

pics.

it sounds sooo much better too... 50% less road noise, and with the 6x9's I got the bass I was missing without having to get a sub!

FYI the speakers are JL audio C2-690tx 3 ways


ps thanks for not quoting the pics!

yes... I removed all my rear crap since I cant have anyone back there anyways. once I did that it got noisy and took a long time to cool down.

this fixes those problems, also gives me much better sound imaging and more bass since I can use 6x9s

the green bag is my GFs
