Alright, so I woke up this morning, went to a stupid hour long dentist appointment (and they were 15 minutes late getting to me, which I HATE because I make early appointments figuring that they can't be behind yet...)
Anyways, I went home, and started on the car at like, noon. On the days agenda:
-replace control arms & C-links
-lower coilovers
-adjust dampening on coilovers
-delete secondary air system

... So anyways, I managed to replace the passenger side control arms, lower that coilover, and adjust its dampening. Took me like 6 hours! So many stupid stubborn bolts, and the coilovers were, of course, a bizatch because they were seized and whatnot. I did find out that my coilovers have about 2 1/4 turns of dampening adjustment, and they were set at 1/4 turn away from the weakest dampening. I knew they must have been, because ever since installing my FK's like 2 years ago, I was dissapointed... they were way too soft. We'll see how they are tomorrow, when I do the drivers side (hopefully it goes faster!). I ended up turning them a full turn more towards the aggressive side... we'll see how that works out. It's a bit more than halfway towards full dampening.

Didn't bother with the SAP, because... well... I was tired and frustrated. I'll delete the bugger another day...

Here's a teaser pic... I still have to lower the rear. The dampening adjustments up front made a big difference... I might take them off and give them another 1/2 of a turn towards the aggressive side, but we'll see once I do the rears. It might not need it.

 

So you must be slammed near the ground. Pics?

 

Well, my passenger side was always higher than my drivers side... and it irritated me! So today I figured I'd adjust to make it better... well, I went a bit far (about 1/4") so tomorrow I'll drop the drivers side 1/4" or so, to even it out. So yeah, the car overall will be 1/4" lower than it was yesterday... I think it'll look good. I will get pics eventually... the car is filthy. Once I drop the rears (I have to wait for my rear swaybar end links from getcoolparts.com) I'll post pics. I should have the swaybar end links late next week, so likely next weekend I'll install them.

Now I'm gonna go see "hot fuzz"

 

Sick.

I haven't seen that movie yet. Looks like it's good though.

 

+1 Hot Fuzz.

Are you going to corner weight it? From what I've heard coil overs won't really help unless you set them up with a set of scales.

 

Negative. I don't race or anything... and they do 'help' when you compare them to stock... that's pretty much no contest. But yeah, I am quite sure that corner weighting it would be a great improvement, noticable on the race track... or if driven very aggressively. Not me, though!

Hot Fuzz was awesome.

 

Well, the drivers side went a little better... I was able to do it by myself, for the most part. My younger brother came out to help me towards the end, but I was pretty much done already.[:@]

Haha, anyways, the swaybar was a bit of a problem... the monstrous H-sport unit was in the way, and uber stiff (obviously) so I had to unbolt it so it could move around a bit. Otherwise, it was pretty straightforward I guess...
I do want to send a big '**** you' out to the damned bolts that hold the lower control arms in place. God, they are a pain in the ***.
Added a pic, above.

 

your car looks great man, hopefull the adjustments will make it ride better

 

Looks good Head. Making me want to get my suspension done asap after i get my rims installed.

 

Added a couple pics... one of my girlfriend exchanging a kiss with my dog, Tyra.
Adorable.
