New Rear Susp Pics After Raising The Strut On The Knuckle

[red89mtx]

Hey guy’s im going to drop my front struts in the knuckle a little bit but im worried I won’t be able to get the pinch bolts loose. I am lubing them with wd40 really good tonight though I don’t think I can get them loose with the tools that I have, should I take it to a shop and have them loosened before I do anything? Or should I wait tell the 8th and u guys can help me out. Now that my rears are good my fronts look to high I have done research and I know how to do this and how far to go but I worried im going to break everything. Any advice is appreciated before I do this if u'd rather me bring the car to u so u can help me I can do that also lemme know guys thx.


EDIT OK WELL INSTEAD OR LOWERING THE FRONT I RAISED THE REARS ON THE KNUCLES A 1/2 IN MAN IT LOOKS NICER NOW

PICS THIS IS WITH MY SWAPPED SUSP FORM LOGANS PARTS CAR
WAS KINDA HARD TO MAKE EM EVEN THIS IS AS CLOSE AS I COULD GET them

the back looks a little high now...
or maybe the car's on a slope idk
the body line looks like it dips forward

 

[red89mtx]

well i may drop it a tad might be a little to high, I know when i drove it just now it felt like the rear was higher sitting in it

EDIT THE DRIVEWAY IS ANGLED ALOT SO ILL GET A MORE LEVEL PIC

HERE FROM FARTHER AWAY STILL CANT REALLY TELL FOR SURE

Looks good. Kinda reminds me of Smoking Joe's stance... Only your car is a different color... And its not really the same stance...

All joking aside, looks like a new suspension again!

Not like Joe's. Joes sits way better. Maybe cuz its a gen 2...

Yea i mistyped that post... its edited now :laugh_ti:

And Joe's isnt 2 tone.

 

[smokin joe]

Yeah looks alot better, mine is way lower in the front and not as high in the back, but it does look better with the rear not draging
This is the best pic of my stance

And for a good view compared to stock just look in the second gen saturday thread!

 

[LJRuddy]

Stupid question alert!!!


How do you drop the front end so much without reducing wheel gap, smokin joe?

 

[red89mtx]

yeah joe i deff like yours better dans is the other way lower rear higher front.

I willl prolly go with coilovers down the road so i can adjust all 4 im going to put on the 2003 knuckles also so i can do the 11.6 in brake upgrade

Oh the wheel gap went way down, if the pic is to small go to second gen saturday thread in WISHOC

And mine is so low in the front because i have intrax with a coil cut in the front

just wait until joe's motorcrafts wear out in the front from those intrax

 

[smokin joe]

just wait until joe's motorcrafts wear out in the front from those intrax

Till that point i dont care becaue i only paid $200 for everything and thats the price of just the springs the koni's are being saved for alreadyand then i have brand new housings to put them in

 

[Wht91+]

I think that I'm doing tokico's with Intrax maybe Eibach's

 

[smokin joe]

good luck finding tokico's they dont make them anymore!!

 

[Wht91+]

Someone I know has a few sets "all 4" at his shop....

 

[dantheman68]

shh dave... we dont want that getting out...

 

[red89mtx]

well it has settled some already but it deff reduced the front wheel gap i do like the stance now i just gotta reconnect the sway bars and fix that brake line and im done with this thing till somethin breaks lol(crosses fingers)

EDIT i didnt mean im fixing it at the meet on the 8th sorry just ment it was what is left to be finished
