Legacy05 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Well, my good friend Les and I put on the springs today, along with the AVO endlinks. It was a piece of cake, the rears were really easy to change. A spring compressor is a must! Here is a picture of the car before lowering. http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=642&g2_serialNumber=1 Picture of Springs and Endlinks http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=678&g2_serialNumber=1 Picture of the top nuts for the rear shocks http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=630&g2_serialNumber=1 Picture of spring compressor on old rear spring, for those who wanted to know what it looked like. (Rented from Autozone) http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=557&g2_serialNumber=1 Picture of whole shock assembly, when we are just getting ready to take it apart. http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=710&g2_serialNumber=1 New spring (Rear). http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=595&g2_serialNumber=1 and .. finally, the pictures! http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=718&g2_serialNumber=2 Left front close http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=619&g2_serialNumber=1 Left Rear close http://68.106.13.140:8081/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core:DownloadItem&g2_itemId=572&g2_serialNumber=1 There you go ... As far as driving impressions, the car is a bit firmer, but the ride is not harsh at all. Not compared to my Honda with Apexi WS Coilovers Thanks again to Jack at Ion Performance!

Jonny Bradtmueller Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Your car looks really good. Springs, Spats and the painted caliper. Very nice. I'm going to order springs and splats next week. Then I will paint the calipers when I do the spring install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iON Performance Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 Legacy05 - Lookin' good Tony! I hope you remembered the tip I gave you on the camber bolts. Wait about 1 week or so before getting the car aligned. It's great to see you've finally gotten a chance to install our Sport Spec springs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy05 Posted March 20, 2005 Author Share Posted March 20, 2005 Just wanted to add, there was no need for a big breaker bar to undone the bolts in the rear lower control arm. Just a good whack of my foot got it loose heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're currently in the process of getting the site back up. If you look in the Vendor's Classified's you'll see we're currently holding a GB for our springs.

lisn2me2 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 jack any word on steering bushings? after further evaluation of the springs it feels almost like the front strut tower brace would help where before th springs i wouldn't have considered it james Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisn2me2 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 also jack on the wagon set the rear is much lower than the front i though it was supposed to bethe other way around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iON Performance Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 lisn2me2 - James, we're still testing out the bushings for various other compressive and sheer properties of urethane to use. In regards to your comment about the strut tower bar in the front, it would help the turn-in slightly, however it's not something that is absolutely required. I'd suggest waiting a couple more days to make sure all the rubber components have settled first. The wheel arches on the fronts are actually larger then the rear, so any lowering in the rear looks more then it does in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
