Q-Ball Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Well I found a shop locally that can get me in some of my parts. Today I bought my KYB GR-2's Front and rears. Also bought my Addco Rev 2 474 Rear Sway Bar I didnt get the mounts or boots yet, they told me to goto another place and get them. OEM replacements are turning out to be more than the KYB's. How Odd. Anyways, I get my struts tomorrow. The Addco rear sway bar will be 2-3 Weeks to get it. When I pick up my struts I'm gonna go ahead and order my 2 rear boots, and 4 struts mounts. Funny thing, I got it for about 150 less than I was quoted on the phone about a month ago. Lets remember this is in Canadian Funds. Front Struts were $69 Each Rear Struts were $79 Each Front Mounts are $30 Each Rear Mounts are $55 Each Front/Rear Boots are $20 Addco Rear Swaybar Rev 2 474 is $249 So far, I dont think its a bad investment. Soon, I will be ordering my coil overs too. But I wont put them on till spring. As for the wreckers, what a treat that was. I got my black carpet. It was soaked and smells. I also got a vent for GTP_Munky. I also smuggled some black floor matts (2 for the front, and 2 for the back) and 2 things of weather striping for the doors. Oh, Also the piece that snaps on to hold the 3rd brake light cover on. I'm getting my black seat belts tomorrow. It was a good day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Well, I got my struts, boots, mounts and some TKO Cleaner. As for the wreckers I went and picked up my black seatbelts and got another set of controls for my AQ9's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 AQ9's working now? How much did you pay for the Addco bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 AQ9's working now? How much did you pay for the Addco bar? They half work. Everytime I press a button it goes on and off right away. After playing with it, it works for a bit, than stops. CRAP! Oh, btw, Addco Rear Swaybar is $249.

Is there anyway you can still test them? if you havn't sent the MO yet, just add $5 to it....i even took the switch out and took in apart and cleaned it. No, havent sent it yet. I was going to do it tomorrow or Friday. But I'll add the 5 bucks too it. Just find out if they work if you can. THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1234 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 so lowering springs? Cause aren't coil overs one unit? like for the rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 so lowering springs? Cause aren't coil overs one unit? like for the rears? You can add coil overs or take them off. The cool thing about them is you can adjust the hight of your ride. Where as Eibach's springs are set to 1 height (what ever height you buy them for) and cant be changed. Oh also, Adam, I dont need your controls anymore. I ripped out all my seats and went back to stock. Just kidding... I went to the wreckers and took the last set of controls. What a shame. 2 sets of AQ9's there with no controls now. And probably 4-5 sets or rear buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
