Also anyone have a bolt on coil compressor? I have an internal and it slips so I can't get my springs out. Or do you know where I can get 1.

Using a quality compressor is very important to avoid risk of bodily injury or DEATH. When that coil spring is wound up, the spring or the compressor components can become missle like if something gives. Don't be afraid to take it to a professional with the proper tools. Does anyone know the multiplicative factor of the spring rate when wound up? I thought I heard that it doubles the rate for every inch compressed. kennyg

Well I'm being safe. Having the compressor slip 2 times is not safe. I am making sure I know what I am doing and doing it right.

Well this is going to be a little bit. I now kinda have a job and I haven't had time to even attempt the drop yet. So I will do this once I start putting all the other parts on.

Not yet. I am working with Chris until the end of this week. Then I am working at Sci-Quest for 2 weeks. I will have earned around 500-600 after I am done with Sci-Quest. That is why I have a parts list.


Anyone know how much it will cost to have brand new exhaust pipes run?

Also what do you think about these rims? Thinking about getting them and having them powdercoated black. A camaro had the 1s to the right.

I used Jeffs Muffler on South Parkway to put my cherrybomb on. I am buying some Flowmaster 40s from a guy Wednesday I hope. I will have to drop by there 1 day since I am working out there this week. Get a quote from them.

Those look like American 200S wheels. Very collectible, but you'll prolly need to change to 5 lugs.

it would be a good idea to change to an 8.8 with 5 lugs any way...parts are just easier to find.
