Intlcutlass Posted July 10, 2006 Report Posted July 10, 2006 My old one had so much rust on it the metal was very thin. So a month or so ago , I picked up a rear from Patgizz, took it completely apart, applied POR-15. Then alluminim spray paint. I also got from "dohc v6" a revised addco. I used my stock inner hangers for that, but I took them off the car to reshape them. I used Energy suspensions Poly bushings and brackets where they bolt up to the strut...When it was in the air, that bar is HARD to install, and it comes in contact with both struts, but once it's on the ground, you get some space in there. I dropped it iff a little while ago to get it alligned (again).... Now my rear end has: Birchmount lowering spring with 1 leaf taken out, and the bushings where it bolts in place have been cut down to 1/4 ". Where the spring meets the knuckle also has a 1/4" rubber bushing. KYB GR2's Addco 7/8 swaybar With Poly bushings both inner and outer. 96 rear brakes (11.1" I think) Stainless steel brake lines Quote
