My 99 Saturn Build

[bsweitzer99]

Did some part matching at Autozone today and came up with the parts I'll need for the rear 5lug swap. Cavalier bearings and Chrysler New Yorker rotors with factory calipers and maybe a few shims for the caliper. We shall see once I get it all mocked up on the new rear frame.

i feel sorry for you guys needin to go winter mode lol i couldnt imagine

[bsweitzer99]

NY winters sucks. I'm still riding it out til the first snow, then I'll switch to my stock wheels lol. But I'm going to keep the coils on and keep them clean after every storm. I took my coils apart and sprayed them with silicone spray to prevent the threads from rusting up.

Yeah all my threads are coated with anti-sieze. I wouldn't trust just wd-40. Sprayed the collars and everything with spray grease as well but hopefully I'll have my kyb's and eibachs on next weekend and have it aligned.

Completed winter mode this weekend... Sadly. Although I may be throwing on my old struts and eibach springs for winter in an effort to keep my coils from seizing up and just general winter driveability. Gotta love them flaps



Bumpers and wheels in winter storage

Also got my rear knuckles and caliper brackets back from my buddy who blasted them for me. Knuckles still need some work because they were pretty nasty but they look a ton better than when I started. Should be tearing into the new rear subframe this weekend!

Dug up some shots from h2o this past September. Had the coils spun down, still had more room to go but tires don't like frame rail pinch welds..

Very unique. I liked how the old wheels looked though. Looks great!

[SuperSport]

love seeing these cars low. Very cool man

[bsweitzer99]

Thanks!

On another note, put the lady friend to work this past weekend swapping everything over to my old beat bumpers for winter.

Also stared at various aspects of the rear suspension in preparation of my new rear subframe/swaybar mount setup I'll be making this winter.
ew rusty
New everything to come!

Also finally said goodbye to an old friend, the shop where my car tinkering life began.

It'll be a while haha

[xavierb]

I like. Get em on.

I've had these wheels for about two years now and have been at a stand still with refinishing them strictly because of the cost. They're going to need all new hardware and lip refinishing and polishing. But they really are the perfect wheels id like to run plus they seem to be pretty rare in complete form.
