Busy on XMas *PICS*
Thursday, December 27, 2007 10:00 AM
After the party...i was bored and decided to do all the mods sitting my garage...

Mods:

I fixed the Dash piece that was falling apart...
BEFORE:

my supplies

work in progress:

FINISH PRODUCT!! sweet!



-----------------------------
Then i moved to the suspension..
Here is the Eibach Anti roll bar kit.

Installed the rear..no problem.

The front one i had to go to the Chevy Dealer to get some original clamps for the factory sway bar (which i don't have...bummer) so, i'll install that this weekend. I need to get the sub frame brace out of the way. I'll post pics later.

The motor mounts:
UPPER:


LOWER


Then i installed the front strut tower bar:



And the rear...



so...after all was done, sit back and relax. lol

happy new year.!!

PS. i'll post pics for the installation of the koni's next year.

That ought to be night and day difference in the way it handles. I have that same rear strut tower bar and I hate how it sits so low. I wish it would have been designed so that it goes up almost to where it touches the rear deck. Just a litle more clarance there would make a huge difference in how my sub box fits.

Yes, there is at least 3 washers there, otherwise the bracket would be out of place because the surface of the strut mount is not perfectly horizontal (it has a donut shape hole in the middle). With the washers, it'll be all straight.

cheers.
