    New Front Suspension - Let The Fun Begin

    Setting up for my new coil over front suspension. Hope to pull some weight off the front end.

    Finally got the spindles off the stock A-arms. Do yourself a favor and get an air hammer. You will never get them off any other way.

    My Maximum Motorsports C/C plates came in. They have a lot more adjustability than the BBK ones that I've got now.

    I'm still waiting on struts so, thought I would upgrade the front brakes.

    Picked up some Baer Decelarotors and some Pro-Stop ceramic pads.

    I think its sitting a little too low. I might crank it up a few turns after the springs settle.
