Sold my TTM's today, took a partial trade for these. Kinda sad to see the big meats go, but least I can put the rear end back together. Man they're skinny, lol.

lol, I need springs pretty bad, can you tell? I might just cut the stockers though, can't afford the springs I want yet. It got that bad when I took all the weight out of the front. And they're 130,000 mile v6 springs to boot, lol

License plate bracket is something I made, I don't like messing with the cops out here. Held on with wing nuts, comes off in about 20 seconds for show/track.

I'm not really into the cut spring thing, but I think I'll make an exception. It's almost too ugly too look at right now, needs some super swampers to fill that fender gap

I'd prefer to ditch the front plate too, looks so out of place. But I figure ugly is better than a headache, oh well. And yes, in St. Helens, there's plenty of meth heads to be out catching, they're everywhere. Especially up here in the boonies where I live

Cut stock springs got a bad rap and I never really understood why. I rocked some cut stockers in my car way back in 1999 through 2003 or so. If hadn't told someone they were cut, nobody that rode/drove the car would have been the wiser.

That was A LONG time ago for me lol.... I want to say it was 1 coil off the front, and 2 coils off the rear. But, it depends how low you want the car. I'd start with 1/2, or 3/4 coil on the front and see what it looks like, then adjust it from there.

Hey all!! Looking for suspension parts, pan hard bar, torque arm. I need shocks springs and struts and found out I need a right CV joint to. Was racing a civic this morning, man thing had to be turbo or something cause I barley pulled him. Anyways I was changing lanes and it felt like I had no controll over her she was all over the road. So if anyone knows who selling any of these parts let me know. I'll do some research on here as well.. Thanks!!

Not sure what you may be referring to, but these cars don't have "CV Joints". A CV joint is on a transaxle typically associated with front wheel drive cars and imdependant rear suspension rear wheel drive cars (aka vette). You have front spindles with bearings, and the rear axle and axle bearings. Hope this helps for information.
