Just ordered alta rear links and hella sharptones

 

Dont forget to do inner ball joints while the subframe is down - as I am pretty sure you can't reach the bolts unless it's down....

 

Ill be doing the inner and outer. When i have everything i need its going to be a one and done. I dont want to have to rip it apart a second time

 

Here is a list for the front end bushings , I did mine all at once when I dropped the subframe for the P/S pump and transmission clutch.

Replaced them all and really helped tighten up the front end.

 

Links and horns came today. Now going to concentrate on getting the rest of the front end parts

 

Great, thanks for the update , cant wait for pics.

 

Im hopeful that i can have everything before it starts getting real cold.

 

Wiring up the sharptones with factory plug end





Soldered and filled with epoxy

 

Finished product. Cant get more professional than that

 

Perfect fit unlike the supertones. Its nice to have a horn again after a year without one lmao

 

Coils are on the way. Broke down and ordered them today. Pics when they get here

 

What coilovers did you end up getting?

 

Which ones, Bilstein , ST ?

 

I went for the megan ez street. Didnt want to drop over a g on coils when in the future i plan on putting bags on it. The megan had decent reviews and there was no way i was going on a real budget buy and getting raceland garbage. Good for street and some trackdays with the carlisle mini club

 

Side note: can someone try and explain to me why after putting a new belt tensioner and new belt ( last belt had maybe 10k) it is still slipping? Really irritated by it. When i changed to the 17% pulley i was boosting at 15psi and now it hits 10psi and the belt slips

 

So i cancelled my order for the megan coils. They said something about molding problems so they have been recalled. Waiting to get my refund back now. I found ones made by a company called ftg motorspots. 32 way adjustable with camber plates. Does anyone know anything about them

 

Not a fan of the wheels but wow that thing is clean.

 

Thanks. I try my best with it. Looking to change wheels in the spring and making these my winter runners

Talked to ftg about my coils today and have some info for people that are looking for a good setup for a good price. They are made to order so may take up to 2 weeks to get. 32 way adjustable (i know its a bit much) they come with adjustable camber plates and are backed by a 5 YEAR! Warranty. Big name coils dont even offer this. The owner and i had many conversations because i wanted to know i wasnt buying an inferior product which he assured me they are far from that because he has worked with bc st and a few other big coil manufacturers. Now you are probably wondering what these would cost. Built to order and tested for quality shipped to your door you will pay no more than $725. If you are sceptical like i was about such a setup for a low price i will gladly give my feedback about them when i get them on

 

Well those are galvanized instead of stainless steel so that price isn't as good as you may think. I see you live in PA, hopefully you don't have salt on the roads there.

 

They are not made with galvanized steel. I will have them thursday and post actual pics

 

Xmas came early for me today. Coils showed up and im very happy with them. Very solid construction. Camber plates are 1/2" aluminum and all steel parts ar powder coated white or black. Came with rear end links so my new alta ones are up for grabs

 

All aluminum parts are anodized in a nice silver color
