I don't know about you guys, but I got three sets of graphical instructions with the Konis, and each one seemed different and required more interpretation than it should.
I am glad you got it all figured out, sorry we weren't on here over the weekend to help you any. If you run into any other hiccups give us a call here at the shop.

Very nice! Man, that is weird. In this job, I'm never amazed at how car parts can fail. LOL Glad this worked out and you were able to get it fixed.

We have plenty of AFTER pictures on our Facebook page with details. You'll notice the drops being consistent from each cars, so its safe to expect your car will sit the same when it's all said and done. The before status will always be influenced by the condition of the suspension. New factory springs will sit differently than old, 100k mile springs.

Heres my before (minus the LCA that just arrived):







Hope to start my install Friday, I'll take some picture before and after, but I am running on old old sportlines and stock 120k mile shocks.

It definitely looks like you have all your bases covered that is for sure!

Keep us updated on your install and get us some before and after pictures if you can.

Very nice picture for your pre-install! Thank you very much for posting. Any before/after pics would be excellent.

No problem. I have better pictures coming I hope..

Couple parts I missed for those that might be replacing everything. The rubber insulator attached to the strut on the inside, pictured here:



Here is the part: RAYBESTOS Part # 5201160

There is this piece I plan to reuse because I couldn't find it:



And a couple of Stabilizer bar links, mine were falling apart, part number I grabbed below.

MOOG Part # K6217

It's very common for people to discover that their upper shock mounts are completely crumbling apart. We always suggest you buy a new set to be safe. There is nothing worse than getting into a project and hitting a brick wall because of a small part.

Same place I got mine from...and most stuff really.


Figured out this week I needed a plastic ring that goes on the bottom of the front spring on the black piece on the shock. Had I gotten that I could have trashed the entire old piece without having to waste time cutting the bolt off with a torch. :O

Bought mine this morning! Been awhile since I made a nice mod purchase, I've taken the last few years to concentrate on guns..errrrrrrhhhhhhh, save responsibly.

Too good of an offer to pass up, good to be back to my old habits of setting money on fire.

I responded back, but then decided to post this here for anyone else looking into this. I would have liked to have had the info anyway, some could have saved me some time had I known.

You may not need everything. I went ahead and ordered bushings because I wanted an as new as possible ride when I was done. Turns out my bushing were disintegrating, so it was a good thing I did.

Anyway..

MOOG Strut Mount (Front Left Upper) - K6516 - $45.79
MOOG Strut Mount (Front Right Upper) - K6517 - $46.79

MOOG Spring Insulator (same as Raybesto part, I found this part later and like MOOG better - K6573 - $4.46 x 2

I wasn't aware I was going to need this piece, if you have it and you buy the Insulator and strut mounts you can trash your strut assembly when you get it out of the car (or sell it maybe). They didn't have this item around me so we had to cut the stock stuff apart with a torch to get to it..Wasn't happy about dealing with that.

MOOG Coil seat - K80927 - $11.40 X 2

The rest may or may not be needed depending on your cars condition. The Bushings I had to take to a shop to have pushed on, I didn't have the tools or the time to do the tricks listed in LS1tech threads, but they are there if you look and want to try.

MOOG Control Arm Bushings - K6490 - $18.89 X 2
MOOG Control Arm Bushings - K6689 - $14.39 X 2

I needed Stabilizer Bar Links, front and back, mine were shot.

MOOG - K6630 - $6.93 X 4

So close baby...so close.....
