From ruined OEM to Aftermarket Bliss- A Suspension Story

[Wildfire007]

Well guys I have been driving around a horribly blown OEM suspension since I purchased my car around 6 months ago. Yesterday and today I got my Tokico blue struts and eibach pro-kit springs respectively. And it was today that my friend and I began the amazing fun of installing it. With a bit of trouble(my first time and only his second lol) we managed to finish the front in 4 hours. Tomorrow we tackle the rear and then I will post up my pics. Just judging from the front end, the car is gonna look down right sexy.

It too 4 hours to do the fronts?
Sounds like somebody spent more time drinking than wrenching!

Post pics when its finished

It took me like 6 hours to do the front of my car.
And so far like 6 months to do the rear.
Maybe it is an Alabama thing lol

Ya must be lol.

Unless you mess around thinking you can get the shock without removing the a arm...

This is true....it took a few days and lots of beer to figure this out ROFL

But the good thing is, I learned

Lesson 1: Supras Can And Will Be A Pain In The Ass (Until you've done it once) LOL

Tried it a second time for a few min then went whoops...Had been a while and was taking my time. Time after that did springs and shocks in like 25min with the help of a buddy on his car.

Haha yeah it was my first time to do a suspension and my buddies second time but he he did coilovers before on his Geo Storm. So it was something of a learning experience for both of us. And lets just hope it doesn't take me 6 months to do my rear lmao otherwise I'm gonna be riding around looking like a drag car the whole time. My nose is dipped like hell xD.
