Tada! Its done!

Well, thanks to the help of the great people here, and at VB&P, the front transverse mono spring is installed.

Thanks again for all your help! I still have to toss the tires on and adjust the height, but the rough part is all done!

Pretty much it puts the C4/C5 style front type suspension on. Major plusses are adjustable spring rate from 300-700lbs! and ride height can be adjusted either way by around an inch and a half, all rapidly. Plus it helps cornering signifcantly, I've heard skidpad numbers from .95 to over 1g with it and a bunch of other goodies on the back too.

Around $650-700 with new balljoints. Probably need new shocks too after, as the fiberglass spring acts differently than steel.
