The car is not as high as it used to be

Well, just finished installing the lowering springs that I got from Japan. Looks to have dropped it about 3/4 of an inch. Looks good too me.

I had two problems which made the swap a PITA. The driverside swaybar linkage was rusted to one piece and needed cut off. The other was the rear lower shock bolt broke in two will I was tring to take it off. But she is down now.

Have some pictures enjoy pictures

I used yahoo auctions Japan. I have a Japanese friend that owns a american/german anything not japanese car garage near Tokyo.

I did a search using sa22c link to site When I find something I send him an e-mail and he gets it for me. I had two trips to Japan in the last two monthes that I went and paid for/picked up items. I'm not planning another trip over till spring 2005.
