[bobbyjones]

things are slowly coming together, i started shortening the front shocks, the front bags are back in the car, the motor mounts are spaced and just need to be torqued down, picked up one of my wheels that needed to be repaired this morning. can't wait to get the car back up and driving.

and pictures:



also on a side note, wheel works in burlington, nj is the coolest shop i have ever been in, it's one guy, a few machines and some back handed jokes. also he does great work.

bought a small drill press at home depot today

i have to say it's the best $120 i have ever spent. it easily made the holes for this:

side view:

The holes in the bottom are to mount the bag, the two bolts (that are way to long) hold the spacer to the square part, the spacer has a recessed mounted bolt which is the bolt coming out the top, the black part is the stock spring isolator. above that is the top washer. i think i should have taken better pictures.

High five for a NJ guy! I luff this! What part of Jersey are you from?

i'm at the jersey shore.

what bags you using up front? how much lift you get up front?

re-6s and i'm not sure on the amount of lift, but will try to measure soon.
