Guess my college courses were good for something as I had to convert all his mm's to .xxx's. :-(**|=
Looks like all turned out good from what I can tell. Jeff, it was a pleasure helping you on your project

Ricky, thanks always for the kind words. Are you still sending me the items you want done?

GC, thanks you for your patience on your item. I really have not forgotten

Thanks guys for all your support, Carter *CT Machining*

Ricky, thanks always for the kind words. Are you still sending me the items you want done?

Yes, as soon as I get the OK from the cars owner. I think he is low on cash right now but doesn't want to admitt it. I'll be touchin base with you soon on another idea for my car.

Did not mean to highjack

Ricky, contact me when you are ready

Jeff,

Can you post the details on the coilover set up? Where did you get the parts and how much were they? What are the part #'s?

Carter,

Can you make another set of those adapter pieces and for how much?

I'm thinking this may be my next project. I already have a spare set of shocks I can have rebuilt and grooved.

Thanks guys.

Sweet did you have to notch the shocks or mod the supension in anyway?

Jeff,

Do you notice any difference in ride/control?
Did you retain the FX3?

yes shocks got grooved for the snap rings for the coilover sleeve

otherwise the mods need are required for any coilover set-up

Yes, much more controlable over rough roads, car did not dart like it did before

Yes, front shocks are the new pair that was on eBay for $150.. I had those grooved for the shocks

I need too get good pictures but the front is lowered 1.5" and the rear (still has the fiberglass spring) is lowered 1.25"
