    I finally got around to addressing my suspension needs.

    Last night with the help of two friends, SMosher, & KrzySRT we replaced the following suspension parts.

    Ken, did it just work out that all the pieces were red or did you have them painted?? I LOVE the red parts! I know, I know, but I'm into little things like that, lol!

    Another REAL nice mod/upgrade KEN.
    I really like the control arms and end links. CAn't wait to hear what you think of the Pro street kit.
    Did you get the whole kit from BWoody?
    Let us know how much better it handles and "feels" on the road.

    I had the SPC control arms, and sway bar powder coated. I ordered the end links from BWoody red.

    Thanks Bro. I'll be testing her out this morning on the way to my next car show.

    Thanks for the complement. I only bought the end links from BWoody.

    Thanks Chris.

    On my way to a local car show this morning I had a little fun.

    I HAVE A NEW CAR!!!

    The ride is fantastic. Smooth as can be. No more feeling every single bump, and crack in the road. She corners as tho on rails.

    Most of my friends have KW V1, or V2 coil overs, I bought Eibach mainly because of their looks, (red with stainless) and knowing that KW makes the struts. My Eibach struts have KW stamped on them.

    I'm as happy as could be. If any one in my area would like to test drive my ride, just ask me for the keys.
