I just got my 73 2.0 back from the alignment shop yesterday and all I can say is WOW! It was a nice day In Everett today so I drove it to work and it was everything I had hoped it would be! New Bilstein Shocks and 100# rear springs make a HUGE difference in the handling. I THOUGHT it handled really good before, and compared to my truck it did, but now it's awesome! The new springs are MUCH stiffer. I could easily compress the old rears with my hands. I know everyone says 100#'s was stock, but I must have had 50 or 60 pounds springs because I could barley compress the new ones and the old I could compress quite a bit with one hand!
Anyways, the new suspension is tight and feels REALLY good on the road. Not so tight that it's bone jarring, but stiff enough that you have a great feeling of control and responsiveness. I am a HAPPY HAPPY man today! WOOT! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Thanks to everyone that helped me and gave me good advice. I'm glad I dropped the Boge shocks for the Bilstein ones! The ride is awesome and I no longer have a saggy rear end!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) |

I too will be redoing my complete suspension this winter and would like to know more about them....thank you I thought I posted this for you the other day, but here you go again. The elephant bushings allow the suspension to travel freely and give the car an awesone ride. http://www.elephantracing.com/suspension/d...siondiagram.htm Those look awesome. A bit out of my price range right now, but something I REALLY want to do in the future. |
