  • Wow I have not worked on my car in over a week..... What a fail
  • ^^ Story of my life...

    Are those racelands with cut springs? How do the springs ride? I've got them on my del sol with 450/350 coilover spring rates. I like the struts a lot, just hoping they hold up to those spring rates.
  • slo88crxslo88crx Senior Wagonist
    Yea his car is bumpy!
  • The rear springs are cut about 1 coil but yea it's very bummpy .... Hey John when I bring the car to your work do u want me to put the camber kit on or let u do it
  • lil'ghostlil'ghost Council Member
