Sounds like you are going to have some fun. Post some pics from time to time.

Ha, dude, you're going to end up costing me more money. Lol.
Yeah, as soon as I can figure out how to post pics I'll have to add some shots of the car and do some before and afters.

 

Yikes, getting ready for the rear shock relocation kit and see my "new" exhaust system is RIGHT IN THE WAY UGH, Oh well, I guess it's time to modify the exhaust while I'm at it. =)

If it's not one thing it's another. Or, a whole bunch of others at the same fricken time. I guess it's just money. =)

 

Ok. Putting the car together half way as it has to make it to HAN in Reno in 7 days and I'm running out of time.
I know some of you guys don't like these shocks, but I went with a set of KYB Gas-a-just shock for now to get the car running. I like a stiffer shock setup myself, but understand why you'd go with a different set up. I just didn't want to spend $150+ per shock at this time.
Shock relocation set up going on next month as well as all of the Pro-Touring suspension and the 4 wheel disc brakes. I have to make HAN & Good Guys in Pleasanton later this month. After that ..... it's continue with the full blown project and get it done.

 

HAN sounds like fun.. I may try to get there next year. It's a long drive from Houston. What is your pro touring setup going to be? ie, adjustable coilovers?

 

Did you decided to mini tub?

 

Yeah, I'm SO FAR behind that I didn't have time. The local guy raised his prices on me, so for now ... I'm just running 9.5" wheels in the rear. The shock relocation kit (which will go on after HAN) will help with all that, but eventually, I'm going to need a new trunk floor, so what better time to have all of that work done at the same time?

 

I just realized that I haven't purchased a kit yet. I'm afraid I'm going to have to buy new rims since I have the 3" lowered leaf spring kit and I want to install the new rear end since it has the disc brake brackets on it.

Sooooo I'd better move the shocks to install the rear disc brakes.
