I'm sure the shock mounting points are different between the two subs!

All I can say is WOW!!! I bet you are smiling. I have to agree with you on the "finally pics"!!! I have checked your thread 10,000 times to see the goodies. It was worth the wait for sure. Now comes the fun part and turning parts into a car. It seems I am always happy to get the parts but then its, **** I dont have time to install the goodies. Did you find out the gen of the sub? 1 or 2?

I'm working on the "time" constraints, and now I'm getting a group of cars that need work, so it's money and I'm banking all money, since the job ends soon,

He was building the Red Witch as I was figuring out that my Camaro should be like my E30 325IS BMW's!!! Our thinking was on the same level, but not our engineering or wallets!

I was reading up on this, the difference in subs, but I had to catch some ZZZ's for this early AM's landing!!!

so, I had a 2 hour nap since going to sleep Monday night!!!

It looks like this is a 1st gen sub with adjustable shock mounts, the complete one in the pic on the previous page,

I dont think the car will have hero status like the Steilow cars and all the other big money rides, there seems to be a "cliquish" type of thing going on with certain drivers and cars, and if you can't show up and run with the best, in time and hp, your ride wont get any love from other builders and the masses.

Steilow can drive also, the GM commercials where there driving the CTSV and vette on the ring in Germany, I'm pretty sure is him driving,

I was wondering if someone would catch that, those are off my DD 98 Altima with Nissan Spec V wheels, I have the rear wheels loose on the car without the drums, they need to turned, so there not really for the new sub!!!

But I did get the bolt list yesterday!

I was comparing the two subs you posted pics of and it seems as if yours is different at the lower control arm mount. There is some sort of curved piece that is on the outside of the lower control arm bushings. Yours only has two where as the other one has them on the front and the back. Was that intentionally done?
