Well got the coilovers out, and all torn apart, and all the suspension arms are out and waiting for the new bushing to be pressed in. Disassembling everything went pretty smooth. Only snag is, the 9k springs up front and the 8k springs in the rear were going to be swapped front to back. The 9k springs in the front are probably 1" shorter then the 8k springs in the rear so I'm not sure if I can just adjust the perches and swap them or do I need new springs. Plus the one suspension arm that has the bumpsteer correction bushing to be installed has a metal collar on it which seems to be connected on both sides, any idea how to take it off, does it need cut off or drilled out or something? All in all got a lot done but still a lot to do yet.

No it's not the toe adjustments on the outside it's the metal collar that runs threw the bushing and on the outside of the collar it seems as washers were pressed into or connected to the collar. I may have to get a picture it maybe easier. So it won't hurt to have shorter springs in the rear and longer in the front as long as the spring rate is ok? Mike I'll be calling you for an alignment once I have it all together, do you mount stiffer tires also?

went to opening day at prp yesterday with some local evo/sti kids, saw a riced out r35 (trust me its possible), couple fast imports, nothing crazy. even saw a few people blow their **** up all over the track, but not as much carnage as i had anticipated.
anyway, i saw this red viii parked in the spectators lot (only from the back and like 30 yards away) with jdm bumper, blacked out tails and a PA plate that says HEREVO8. saw this girl with a buschur hoodie get in and drive away. she looked pretty good from where i was standing. anyone know what she's all about???
id probably hold her hand in public, even if she is gross.
THE END
