Default I finished my suspension tonight and took it for a drive!!! With pictures!!!

Finally got the bitch done tonight after getting the right tools to do the job lol. I have yet to hit the pavement with it but incase some of you didn't hear or didn't see my other post I installed the Summit Racing upper and lower rear control arms, and the FRPP "C" springs. It looks great! I'm going to check my alignment tomorrow in the shop. Can't wait to launch it and hit some twisties! Oh yeah, the pictures aren't that great, I'll have to wash her and get some more tomorrow or the following day.

Well I took it for a small drive, but I live on dirt roads and they are still kinda muddy right now from the straight 2 days of rain/snow that we just had lol. I haven't driven it for an entire week !! I will definentally get to some pavement tomorrow and let you guys know how it handles, I'm sure that I'll be pleased with the results. I need more money now to finish it all up with some subframes, shocks, and struts.

It barely snowed, we just got enough to glaze the ground if you know what I mean. I'm in Colorado.
