The funny thing is I remember calling BS on Ox a couple years ago when he said he pulled a wheelie on nittos.


Jay, as always your car looks sick! We do have very similar setup, I think be both did them, what.... 7-8 years ago?
LOL I remember that. You should see what it does now with just nitto's. I had to replace the ball joints already because of it. 2.5-3 foot drop to the ground at a high rate of speed really breaks ****

No locktight just put silicon in the keyway. Torque it to around 100ft lbs. I just use an air gun and zip it on.

Fox-body 4cyl springs(NAPA #270-3060) up front w/ Lakewood 90/10 struts
Fox-body V8 rear springs (cut)
KYB AGX adjustable rear shocks
Airbag in RR spring
No front swaybar
No rear swaybar
UPR sub-frame connectors
UPR Pro Series Lower Control Arms, solid/spherical ends
UPR Pro Series adjustable uppers, spherical ends
Jegs Poly axle bushings
Torque boxes welded
No quad shocks

From what year fox did you get your rear V8 springs from? I'm trying to find some from an 82, 83 or 84 V8 fox. I read somewhere that these rear springs have a 160 spring rate.
