wow, nice kit.

well, if you're going to pay someone to do it, I know he was still interested in softening up his ride. so if you showed up with all the parts, he might do the work, and swap his (used) shocks/springs over to your car at the same time, and cut you a deal on labour. I guess the only question would be if your springs are shot or not.

just sayin.

That's the question. I'm pretty sure some mounts may be shot (hence a lovely clunk) but I'm not sure how to tell if the springs themselves are shot. My rear end isn't overly saggy, and I was told once by someone that springs don't die....

....(course....secondary highways...secondary highways that are ALWAYS UNDER FRIGGIN CONSTRUCTION..are probably NOT the best for suspension components)

Between Matt and I we've bought a bunch of shocks from Shox.com. Do some comparison shopping...Shox vs Tunerworks. Let us know how that turns out... :wink:

Lol will let you know. Athal: to be a pita, if b&j can handle taking on this big job, I'd prefer to support them lol they're the devil I know.

And Paul has helped me out tons. Big ticket service like this should go to him, and I know it's far beyond my abilities.

But...when he gets back I'll need to consult with the boys what bits I all need and see which way to go from there.

I may start callin around next week. I know fcp can also get them for me. Whee.

Just a suggestion, look into the Koni FST, I put them on my C70 and I am very impressed with both the ride and the handling

Thanks Ian, I'll look into those as well.

Easiest thing to do would be get the kit from fcp...deal with stock stuff for a bit.

Dunno. Need to spend some time with the lads at Pauls shop see what all needs/will need to be done soon...but i believe he's away ATM. Whee.

I have a friend with the FST's in his 98 v70 and it feels awesome. Comfy when driving, tight when pushing hard.

Hmm. All things to take into consideration. Unlike the big things in life I'm gonna ponder and contemplate before doing. (also got windows coming in less than two weeks - one huge expense at a time!!!)
