Alright, I think I got a better idea of what needs to be done. Was hoping to start working on it tomorrow, but its supposed to be a crap-shoot weather wise. It'll just have to wait until this weekend.

Thanks again everyone!

Been a long time coming, but finally got the suspension installed and the car back on the ground. Now just need the front end to settle...

you guys are spending a lot of dough though are you raceing ,I meen what I got for $300.00 again is better then stock thrifty not cheap hehhe,an the 20 year old struts now ,you got to be in over 1grand for what you got ,does look great though ,I know I will also be in over a grand to but thats after pan hard bars body conectors an some others things too like slotted rotors an new axles ,but I am not raceing either ,guess its just choise ,I like bang for my buck an the stagg has a life time warranty too but for about $1500.00 will be struts upper ball joints loweres inner outer tie rods pan hard bars axle rear bump stops an build my rearend to handle 500 hp ,saveing about 1k to 1500,00 over the cost of moog blistien koni ,to me most important is the struts for mild race to street for $125.00 ,what more does one need for the street moog strut mounts are 100.00 for set alone I bet my set are just as good for $40,a set ,theres one side life time warranty on all too

stock shocks on the 4th gen are actually pretty good shocks for there time. and yep the cheap shocks work ok, not as good as koni or bilsteins. sams bilsteins are valved for the 4th gen and the set with springs is tuned for the 4th gen, i believe thats what he got.

an what I got is better then stock too ,hehhehe heck only thing I realy need is the struts done, but done right one should do upper ball joints an inner tie rods atleast couse there apart when one does the struts ,but why not do it up an replace all with time is my plan,my stagg struts are above stock for a lot less mild track to street to $100.00 shipped ,I looked at gabriel full sets with springs an all for $110,00 each wich saves install time ,but on these cars its the strut that goes not the springs, all my springs are still good,just need paint red
