suspension install went pretty well -- only hard part was the rusted pins that held on some of the bolts. now the car drives smooth and straight :tu:

New suspensions rule
Did you go lower? Or just replace stock stuff with new stock stuff?

it still has the same ride height -- i didnt replace the shocks and springs -- one because they're fine, two, the car is going to be torn apart here in about a month or so since its getting a complete exterior and interior overhaul and wont be done till at least spring -- so i'll wait till the rest of the car is done since i wont be able to drive it for quite sometime. the blisten shocks and springs that are going on it will lower it only about an inch...
but all the other suspension components were replaced -- control arms, sway bar links, subframe mounts, etc -- 16 pieces all together. so the car is much more responsive and handles very well -- once the bigger wheels and low profile tires are on, i have a feeling it'll loose my B5 easily in the corners :D
