Some T/A suspension work

Some T/A suspension work ***Updated***

Well I decided to do some suspension upgrades for the summer.
I already have umi LCAs on the car

Bought some slightly used strano springs

I dropped them off at the local powdercoating shop to get painted flat black. Awaiting for them to call me this week when they are finished.

Also bought some LCA relocate brackets and a moly/poly adjustable PHB from Founder suspension
Founders Website

I am impressed with founders. Nice prices and really good quality. Too bad their selection of parts is small. Hopefully they produce a TQ arm.

1st bracket in

PHB Installed

The other bracket went in with ease after looking at other people's pics that they removed part of the sheet metal bracket that hold the break line off of the axle.

But everything else went in with ease. I definately notice a difference in response in handling. Feels like the back is more solid. I'm very happy currently with my purchases.

Now I'm just waiting for my call the the powdercoating shop. Will post more pics when available.

Well after almost two weeks at the powder coating shop I got my springs back. Looks much better than the white.

Well after I removed the stock struts the threads were pretty shotty and long story short I had to replace the front struts. So I purchased some oem style kyb replacements with new strut plates.

The rear springs went in without any trouble.

After:

The car handles really well, feels solid, and looks way better. I'm pleased with the outcome

I would have the relocation brackets welded in even though they're "bolt-in" ones. I had the same and actually bent the forward part that the bolt goes through. Just my opinion but awesome to see some upgrades!

I thought about welding several points on the brackets. They seem pretty solid tho...

But thanks for the complements



Also I will be repainting my calipers on the front when I do the spings. The old paint looks pretty rough lol
I did do the rear ones last year and they turned out nice.
