new rims and dropped as of today

psycho bob · January 12th, 2007, 11:52 PM

so yeah it took about 4 hours, but everything except the alignment is finished. i'll be taking it in the morning to do that and as soon as i was it afterwards i'll take some pics. that is if it isn't still raining.

Post some pics! What spring kit did you go with and how was the install? Any tips?

Curious why it's taking 4 hours, was this full suspension replacement or just spring swaps.

I did my spring swaps on the floor in less than 1.5 hours

psycho bob · January 13th, 2007, 05:41 PM

all the parts are on my garage page.

i changed out the springs, shocks/struts, lca's, panhard bar, and panhard support. gotta charge the camera battery so pics should be here tomorrow.

In my case,it took me more than 1.5 hours just jacking the car up and down for each wheel,on my sloped driveway..i also did not use a spring compressor.So it came out to and hour per wheel,taking my time.I dropped my c5 3 inches,they don't use coil springs though,took me about an hour and a half..

Which adjustable panhard rod did you go with,are you happy with it,i have to order one when i get my 20's..

psycho bob · January 14th, 2007, 02:19 AM

got the bmr panhard bar. the one with poly bushings on both sides. so far no issues, but of course it has been raining since i got it aligned so haven't really pushed it around any corners yet. it was very simple to adjust of course.

psycho bob · January 15th, 2007, 10:11 PM
