The carnage and the culprit. lol this is the car that belongs to my friend thats in the marines and is being deployed in a month and a half.
And to HP, I got the front stuff installed yesterday and after it took 7 hours or so to do that, we just didnt have time left in the day to do the IRS because it had to get transported from the guy's house to the shop, which i thought it was already over there. But the struts and front cobra brakes are in. But now I have an issue that my front end sits 1/4" higher in the front than it does in the back...which is really retarded looking, but the front definitely rides a lot better than it did. So yea...we're about half done with everything.

New brakes make me faceplant on the windshield everytime i put more than just a little pressure on the brakes. They need new pads so once those go on they should bite even harder. And the reason why it too so long was because we were doing the entire swap on my car and his simultaneously. Like whenever something would come off his car, we'd come over and take that stuff off my car and put his stuff on and then put the stuff that came off of my car on his. I paid not one cent for anything this weekend. Traded struts and front brakes straight up and he is even buying me new pads for the brakes too. and the new struts ride like a dream compared to the stranges and they handle so much better. But watch out if you get them HP, they will cause a slight raise in the ride height...

Coilovers are next on the list after the IRS actually. Just trying to get everything looking ok for the time being til they come because i gotta buy the coilovers and the c/c plates to accompany them. So until i get them im hopefully gonna be running cut front cobra springs or cut front GT springs. GT springs will suck in the handling department but the coilovers will be on order asap.
