Got mine at Murry's Discount Auto acually (local auto shop like Pepboys or Autozone). They are a penzoil brand. When you told me Channel Lock #212 that didn't help me either. Had no clue what that was. So for anyone else, it is a oil filter wrench.

I'm thinking of going back to stock springs front and rear. Right now I'm running HAL fronts and BMR rears. the rears are a little too stiff and the fronts are a little too soft. Although I would need to cut the stock rears to get down to a 27" (ground to fender lip) ride height

Running stock springs on the rear and the QA1 shocks and springs up front. I run around at #12 setting. Which I agree, they are a little soft in the front when you slam on the brakes. At the track I set them at left 6 , right 2.

95_Firehawk_Dude Did you just remove the rubber isolator from the top of the rears or did you cut them at all?

Please post in here your opinions after you drive it

MidnightWS6 how many teeth do you still have with them set at #12
