Psych0matt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Posted February 17, 2011 right. Sounds like a deal. My only concern is not having it in stock when I come down, but I'll remind you the week before or whatever so we're covered Quote
Venom Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 ES lateral bushings 9.9108 (you need 4 kits) ES control arm bushings (lowers only) 3.3171 Order from EnergySuspensionParts.com as they are the best priced and ship very fast. Quote
BXX Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Matt, they always have w-body parts in stock lol. if not, they drive to their warehouse to get parts for us cause we spend lots of money with them at work hahaha Quote
Venom Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Also since you guys are discussing coil spring rates I am gonna try the progressive rate springs in the front and report back on handling and ride quality on them. Gonna go with the 225-475 rate. Quote
BXX Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Matt, got materials ordered in:thumbsup: I gotta wait for my plate supplier to respond so I can pay and get them. Looks like deliver time is 1-2 weeks for everything:( Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Posted February 17, 2011 No problem, that's way more than plenty if time Quote
BXX Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Shit. The price of steel plate has tripled:bash: Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) let me know if that changes anything, BXX. Also: Edited February 19, 2011 by Psych0matt Quote
Twenty Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Those look familiar. Must mean low is coming. Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Posted February 22, 2011 Those look familiar. Must mean low is coming. getting there. I realized tonight that I haven't ordered shocks/struts yet somehow those (of all things) seemed to have slipped my mind! Quote
BXX Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Everything for your mounts is on order. Even with the price of steel plate gone up, the supplier did a somewhat bulk order for me for the same price i paid in the past:thumbsup: I get the plates waterjetted to what I need, so I only have to spend about 1 hour or on a front set. Rear set will be aboot the same amount of time. Unfortunately, since my US supplier did shoot their cost up on the bearing cups, I had to go with ones from England again. But they are good about getting them to me in 2 weeks. Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Posted February 22, 2011 Sweet. Sounds like everything is moving along! I just gotta order some bushings and whatnot, and still just need the rear sway and lat links, but those will be had as soon as I get a dry non-snow covered JY day Quote
AL Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 What route do you think your going to go for the struts Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 What route do you think your going to go for the struts When I get home from work, I will walk downstairs to my computer, sit in the chair, find some GR2s, and order them? Ok, ok, that's not what you meant by route! what exactly do you want to know? I haven't ordered any yet cuz I was gonna ask some opinions. I've always heard GR2s are the way to go, but I recall a few people saying they wear out quickly. I'm open to Ideas Quote
AL Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 You answered my question! Post up a thread on what struts to get as I am following your build very closely, remember I want that car Quote
Twenty Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I went with GR2s. They will wear out quicker, but the adjustable struts were several times the cost. For the money, I decided it'd be better to get the GR2s for now and replace them in the future. Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 how much did you end up paying for yours? I think I figured around $75 x2 + $60 x2 = $270. I'd have to go back and look at my old posts, I just did a quick google search for prices. Also, what adjustables were you looking at getting? I don't plan on driving the car daily, but definitely if it's nice out I'll take it to work often. Quote
Addicted to eaton Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 mine wore out quick, non lowered. But were for a gen 2. So dont take my opinion to heart there. But remember they have limited lifetime warranty. and was as easy as calling them telling them my problem Buying the new ones showing my receipt. and them paying me back in a timely manor. Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) they paid you back with a house that has impeccable punctuality? Neat! Edited February 24, 2011 by Psych0matt Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 BXX, you wanted a few pics, and I figured you could get a better look this way than on a phone: Quote

I don't plan on driving the car daily, but definitely if it's nice out I'll take it to work often. My struts were around $150 if I remember, the adjustables were 6 or so times that. BXX showed them to me, I think they were KYBs as well. Hopefully he remembers what they were. Quote
Psych0matt Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Posted February 24, 2011 my 270 number was both front and rear, so that sounds about right Quote
Twenty Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Yeah, I only ordered GR2s for the rear. Quote
AL Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Were you referring to AGX's, the adjustable ones? Quote
