Making some progress on the suspension!!!!!! PFADTS

Well I have lagged long enough!!! I have had my Pfadt coilovers just sitting in the garage waiting to get installed, for way to long!!

I got the rears in today, took me about 2.5 hrs to get all the old stuff off and the new parts in.

just a few pics.

and the old leaf spring

Just had mine installed a few months back down at MTI. Haven't had much time to adjust anything as of yet but I am very pleased.

almost done, i got the front shocks pulled out, and was trying to get the front leaf out, but I ran out of day light, and the garage light didnt do ****!! I had planned to leave it as is and come back to it tomorrow. Well smart ME I didnt pull the car in far enough so I had to half way bolt everything back up and pull it in the garage another 6in. or so. LOL man that sucks.

should have it finished tomorrow...

excellent! i know the leaf spring has its benefits but it sure does look ugly and cumbersome ( even if it is lighter LOL )

Very nice. I wish I could justify this mod now but, I'm sure it won't take to many more threads like this to push me over the edge.
