no, I thought about doing that, but I plan on going darker with the red, so far I'm set on this color: http://www.houseofkolor.com/kolors/detail/index.html?id=HOK000103-01&ref=kolors

But I've got a ways to go before I get around to repainting.

 

Hey guys, been a little while, I've been getting parts together for my front suspension system, mainly scrap steel for welding mounts to the I beam and frame for coilovers. Pretty soon I'll be digging in and will post pictures as I get this set up. Thanks guys

 

Can't wait to see. I just redid mine, and I'm about 5/7 drop. Doing drivetrain and body swap next week

 

right on! I'm a bit far out from that, yesterday I finished with tear down, ready to get some welding done, and then to order the coilovers!

 

Here are a few pictures of the exhaust you wanted, if you need more detail on clearances to certain parts let me know

 

Mine squats down this low with no weight to it. I can only imagine full weight. I'm hoping to tuck the tires evenly.

 

have you considered doing the hydro boost conversion to help with the braking

 

Damn. And I thought I was low. I want to see what that looks like with everything on it! Exhaust wise I think what you were talking about is the best solution I can think of, unless your going to run short side pipes

 

Yes I have thought about hydro boost conversion, or electric boost conversion, sort of set that on the back burner for me to think over for awhile.

 

Finished up prep work tonight for welding, marked where lower coilovers mounts are going to be, once they are mounted I'll be welding a flat piece of steel to cover up the hole in the shock tower for the upper mount, then I just need to find a way to line up the upper mounts to the lower mounts.

 

did you get spring rates yet for the coilovers? did you find a set that's good enough

 

Ive been told to play around with the spring rates to get the right one since I don't have the equipment to do four corner weighing. But I'm planning on going with varishock double adjustable coilovers from Chris alston's chassis works. I'll be ordering a 4 link kit through them as well that uses the same coilovers.

 

Got any local racers ... They just might weigh it for you, I'd bring my scales over if it wasn't such a long drive!

-Enjoy
fh : )_~

 

Thanks festus, I think I'll find someone, just picked up a welder yesterday, gonna do some practice and then get everything welded in so I can measure and order my coilovers!

 

Heres more of mine. Not totally settled in yet, and i still need to add more parys, so it will sit lower.
