FlntRoc Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 hmmm flintrocs Saff = baller I hope someone got some better pics fo that . maybe some strut and bag pics .... I can only wish Here are what I have2nd pic is the 1st set of struts I had 3rd pic is my rear bag which prob does anyone no good1st pic is an extra bag I have on my coffee table so you can see the top mountIf anyone can give me the part number for the (Koni?) single & double adjustable strut inserts that someone has used that are really short to make homemade coilovers I will buy a pair & make another new set so I can see if it will handle better. Bilstein makes shocks that are made specifically for aftermarket air-ride equipped vehicles but I think there is only like 2 or 4 to choose from & none of them will work for us. I'm too lazy / don't have time to look for the info on the adjustable inserts but I've FINALLY got a few bucks to spend & I would be happy to finally get a nice ride so that I could recommend or help other people out. I very rarely use the bags @ shows cause I haven't done anything to the car in years so I don't really like showing it off too much unless people ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one spot there is a hole in the middle where you can see the body, I had to trim so much. As for the front, my plan is to cut down the stock struts to the height I need, weld my bottom mount on, insert the struts & secure them, then bolt my bag to the strut. I also need the inserts to have the same size rod in order for it to work with my current upper mounts. I have firestones in mine, I would like to use Slam Specialties but because of the way they compress they will cause more rubbing issues. I'm not sure if a 4ply bag would work any better than a standard 2 ply. It would be stiffer but that is not always better. If you ever need help you just need to continually harass me. I'm pretty unreliable lol. Always trying to do too many things & stretching myself thin. If I don't get back witihin a day or 2 it means I've forgotten & need a friendly reminder.

Zappo Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 C'mon guys, it's pretty bad when guys drive all the way down from Seattle and you guys are less then an hour away and can't even show up for support Yup, that is what I was saying last week. A lot of the "locals" never show up. Sacramento is local because that is where we stayed the night before the show. San Francisco is local, even if you guys don't think it is. I have photos that I will post up in the next day or so. Also have a few from the track day and video from inside my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
