Finally put in zx struts and brakes in the front.
i broke a brake line but thats what happens when you learn and do it on your own for the first.
I'm really happy with the result.

It's not slammed but low just what i was heading for.
some pics.

the jack doesnt fit under. that felt... accomplishing...

so i took off the outer squeegees and i'll be getting them on tomorrow.
I plan to get the radio and what not done.

I'm waiting to get brake lines and I'll be done.

I'm more than hoping the car will somewhat be done by jccs.
im waiting on my rear coilovers to come.

edit: also forgot that i don't have a speedo cable.
should i buy one used or new?

I still have to plug mine into my trans and see if to works anyways
I'll figure that out.

thanks, i ordered the lines.

quick question, does anyone know a place or a website to buy aftermarket wheel caps?
my carrols look ugly without a cap.

well they're alright but i prefer one.

art said he'd send me a pair but never did.

Find out what the diameter is for the hole. then you can look around online. There are lots of places that sell center caps.

Take a look at how it would fit in there, too. What manufacture and style of rims are those again?

so after finishing my suspension and all, my drivers side is half a finger if that lower than the passengers.

Would that do any damage?

If it will i will try to put the coilovers back on place.
the coilovers are actually even so i dont know why the car is doing that. lol

double check for anything obvious that might be missing by chance?

The coilovers may be adjusted the same height, but were they welded exactly the same height?

the suspension could have just not "Settled" yet.

Move the car back and forth, bounce the front end down n up a few times too. should settle, recheck it
