^ since when did you start lowriding?? you got Red's, or Hi-Low pumps??? lol. why do you have to unbolt the fronts again to adjust the height in the front???? it looks like you messed with the setting on the coilover for it to be too low. looks mean though. you should call our Vipers!! lmk, my friend just picked one up

Looks good herb... sorry couldn't help you out last night... got off at 12am... and was to tired already... looks good though... I don't think you need to take anything apart again... just use the hook key looking thing to turn it... it's going to be tight... but just give em... they will turn... just like when I had to lift mines up a little to clear the drive way...

vipers? pm me more about it. Thanks

Nothing was un-bolted, too tired. since it's already installed, the top adjustment bracket is too tight enough to bend the hook keys, leaving me only what's connected to the front lower arms to be turned, the tube links.

hmmm... do you really need to bring the ride up... it looks fine to me... wait until you lower the back... the nose of the car should even out... because right now it's pointing down...

dayam, install sounds fishy. you can't adjust because it's waay too tight?? it's not supposed to be loc-tite tight. although i know you know what you're doing Herb.

btw, were you a 741-xxxx, or a 429-xxxx number that called last night??? i don't answer numbers i don't know, and i don't call back unless a message is left. if it was you, sorry.

The 429 was me, I just didn't want to bother more.

Okay, the rears are in, spending 45 min. each at 1/2 inch gaps. I missed a lot of steps. Currently waiting for the english instructions from buddyclub usa before I need to redo all the tube joints.

It's cool. It was just about how funny it is taking out the rear springs.

Lil Update for liquidg and/or whoever looking at racing spec dampers; this set up is not destined for drag race. I did my best to tame the g on the drag strip, unless I switch to lower rear spring rates. That's all, some info to be aware of. Peace
