Definitely not too much for WAZOO, but it is probably a 2 day job

Didn't know when we could install it and want it done before "driving
season"

Can't wait!

Good Job on picking up the coilovers. I think you should talk to Frank U. and set up some sort of WAZOO track day. NJ Motorsport Park would make a sweet spot to test out your suspension & driving skills

I think it would have been a real handful, though. There's a lot of stuff that has to be done, and would probably take a few days.

I think like Demps said, he was probably just sparing you guys from a lot of work. Though it would be interesting to see them installed.

Yeah, your right Bob, and isn't there a small bit of welding involved? I thought I read something about the sway bar link had to be relocated?

you're gonna love it. really changes the personality of the car

tell us which shop did the work and if you were happy with the work

after the sway bar is move and the shock mount I think it's not a super tough job

getting the old springs of the front is a pain.
'
I drove way up to have Haibeck do it along with some top end porting and more maint. took out the secondaries.

but the old lsv didn't spit out any more top end (limited by the cyl head flow)

even with my spring rates (425 front 275 in back) those F1 19" super crap tires ride like a truck. with the 17s, and a decent street tire, it's not all that bad. I've been running the crappy summitomos insteal of the Expensive Mafulctioning Tire (EMT) not a big fan of the ride hook or handing, cost or wet weathe for these f1 emts cant wait to get them worn out'

thinking NT05 next time around been real happy with the my toyo RA1 on the turbo car need to try out the 335/30/19 size to get them to hook the ponies

Well?????? What's the verdict?

Oh, & don't even try to say that you just drove it straight back to the barn either.
