Eibach 1.1 springs and Monroe struts installed

Going back in driver wheel in the morning to doubly check everything, I can hear and feel a very small... Pop? Rub? Udunno how to describe it. It only shows up when turning the wheel to the left and it does it twice in quick succession. Only time it does it.

Hrm.

Could be just settling or springs not set in just right, nice car though good start

@dwright71 ty much, looooove the look with a 1.1 inch drop. Looks like it should of come to us stock heh.
@showtibgt found the problem, driver side front strut i didnt align the 'tooth' of the strut cap with the strut thread so when bolts were tightened down the passenger side had about 1/5th more thread visable on the top of the bolt where the driver side was flush. pulled the strut, repositioned the strut, good to go.

Woot woot and people never give me credit they only make fun of my bad grammar so thanks for that glad to help

Very clean! Just the way I like em! Tib looks great with those new springs in. IMO the tib should have been an inch lower from the factory. Its perfect that way. Keep it up.

So, my fathers been teasing and badgering me about the glaze on the headlights since I bought this car back late last year and today I finally let him play heh. Psst, he's REALLY good at just about anything involving automobiles.

Also, installed the tuscani badge on the steering wheel. Was a epic battle involving the pulling of film from a 3m covered badge and pressing it on the wheel. Seriously, I had sweat coming from my brow

I'm gonna have to chase down all the photos throughout this thread, looks like alot of their links are dead ends now. Hrm.

Anywho, Ark in the living room, makes the living room sound better, honest

Will go in the car soon, need to buy some toys from Sears to put this toy in my other toy. God I love my toys.

Forward bolts were a bit rough but wd-40 and a 300psi air compressor did the trick. Rear gasket was bonded to the pipes but by the time we broke it loose all that activity in the back broke the front gasket for us. Picked up a factory gasket from autozone for the front pipe, old gasket was in pieces.

Very very smooth install, took bout 30 minutes.
