Default Re: Yo?

Do you mean MY plans? Well, I'm almost done installing everything. In the rear I have 5-leaf reverse eye springs, 3/4" sway bar, grab-a-trak gas shocks (eventually upgrading to adjustable, not sure what brand), HD shackles, and poly bushings.

Front suspension is grab-a-trak 620 springs, 1" sway bar, grab-a-trak gas shocks, poly spring to shock tower/sway bar/lower control arm bushings, roller bearing spring perches, and grab-a-trak upper and lower control arms (the parts I've yet to install). I'm leaving the strut rods alone for now, because they're in good shape. The bushings are rubber, but they're new. I'm also going to do the Shelby drop before I install the upper arms.

Once all that is done, I'm going to have to lower the rear approximately another 1/4" so the ride height is level with the front.

When everything has had time to settle, I'm gonna have the car thrown up on a lift and have some subframe connectors welded in.

Almost forgot, but before starting the suspension, I installed a one piece export brace and curved monte carlo bar. Both are black, not chrome. I also painted the sway bars black before installing them in the interest of keeping the car looking stock at first glance.

As you can see, I'm well past the halfway point on the suspension. Not to mention I've completed the battery relocation.
