Default New Parts, yeah

Well I took advantage of that deal from Tokico and decided it was time to get rid of the FRPP shocks and struts as well as the K springs. I am going with the D Specs and their spring package. The total was $536 and it included shipping. I also will be installing some Russel stainless steel brake lines as well, first I have to modify the lines in the car to make it work since I don't have ABS. For anyone who wants to know about their springs this is the specs on them directly from Tokico.

Approximate drop:
1.4 inches – Front
1.5 inches – Rear

Spring Rates:
240LBS – Front (Linear)
200LBS – Rear (Progressive)

Nice stuff. I was thinking about that deal too but went with Strange adjustable struts and shocks. Afraid of doing a drop as my PA deep pan is so low already.

New stuff in the mail is always fun!

I probably will, from what i heard it's not that difficult at all, you just need 6 3/16 flare nuts, 2 3/16 tees. The passenger side lines are direct swaps, no modifications needed. I attached some pictures of what it will look like.

Will this make it so you can run BBKs as well?

If the BBK are designed like this then I don't see why not. This is my first time messing with brake lines, so I can't really say yes or no. All my information is from another forum member.
