Rotors, pads, shocks all around. A long procrastinated project finally came together. Greenie and Rhodyguy came over today and we thrashed on my car all afternoon. At the end of the day I had new Bilstein strut inserts and rear shocks, new hubs/rotors and Porterfield pads. Best of all...a nice firm pedal! Even the parking brake works great. I'm sure the shocks and struts were original to the car and the pads had no meat left. Went for a test drive and it felt like a new car.

There is no way we'd have gotten it all done if I wasn't so skilled at staying out of the way. My hat's off to them. Thanks guys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Your lower spring perches are upside down. The springs may pop off the perch if driven.

Nope, previous perches were entirely different; no way to mount upside down. We just measured relative distance to bottom shock mount and set the perch land accordingly. Springs seemed to fit the pocket on the perch just fine.

Glad I posted the pics so some real experts could see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

marc, 100#ers are less than a c-note @ the bird. given the 'original' appearance of things on your car, my guess is the ones you have are the originals. pretty cheap to replace them when you fix the fuch up. just saying….
