My suspension upgrades & paint

**military mase** · 11-13-2005, 07:27 PM

Well i just got the tires on about an hour ago but i had to take some pics for everyone to see.

Here's my rear disc conversion with EBC rotors & pads and steel braides lines(bought these from Johnny-O)Plus bilstein revalved shocks

Here are the fronts with drilled&slotted brembos

These are pics of my ST rear swaybar and bushings.

I'm confused but am i missing some bushings for this kit. It came with no brackets. The how to is down and i did the search and no clean pics or instuctions on puting it on.The instuctions ST have really don't help.

This is all the bushings and bolts that they gave me

I think the upper and lower arms, and some other suspension parts are PAINTED bright silver.

BTW, it looks fantastic!

What did you revalve the Bilsteins? 100/300, 110/330, or something else?

I guess I'm not waiting for rear konis anymore. I need to get me some revalved Bilsteins!

TIA.

Peace.

The Blisteins are revalved to 330/110. Still new cuz i haven't drove on them yet. Motor should be ready today so i can put it back in.

I go to a lot of carshows so suspension work shown off helps during judging plus i upgraded anything and evrything i could to get ready for my turbo setup. i still have a custom tie rod bar to put on.

**military mase** · 11-14-2005, 01:35 PM

I dont think so.
Look for a whole in the trailing arm right above the bracket that holds the ebrake cable with two nuts and insert the small rod through there and the pillow ball end goes connected to that.
I dont remember if the whole is a plain circle or a D shape but it should still be there even though.
the only parts that you need are those brackets that hold the sway bar to the chassis of the car. the endlinks only use the two pieces per side provided with the kit. all the stock endlink parts go to the trash bin.

Got the ST bars from streetbeatcustoms and cost me 291 shipped. There's other places that sell them also maybe cheaper but that was the cheapest price i saw online. Hey guaynabo is the rear swaybar brackets the same as the front??

**guaynabo89** · 11-14-2005, 06:14 PM

nope

you didnt get the brackets to hold the sway bar on yet?

**SataniC** · 11-14-2005, 06:18 PM

man your car is sweet mase...do u have any site like cardomain for me to surf all pics on your car?btw those bilstein are those for the 3G or you had them frankensteined...?cheers

**military mase** · 11-15-2005, 04:04 AM

When i got the sway bar F & R they came with the bushings but no brackets to hold it to the frame. They sent it so you have to use your old ones. Did the brackets come with yours? I think i might have to give them a call. Satanic yeah there for our cars. Just go to the suspension & tire thread It's a sticky.

**SataniC** · 11-15-2005, 07:31 AM

yeah...but sadly im living in a far far away land...hehehehe....its cheaper for me to do a custom coilovers...how i wish i stumbled upon a magic lamp...imma rub em good...heeh...btw got more pics on your car such as cardomain?really intersted to check your car out

**military mase** · 11-15-2005, 08:43 AM

Here's the link to my cardomain site http://lowrider.cardomain.com/ride/324959

Hey guaynabo89 i found the mounting brackets in a salvage yard today. I guess i never paid much to the holes where the bracket is suppose to go. Thanks for the info and pics. they helped op a bunch.

**Pana23** · 11-15-2005, 02:38 PM

Congrats! Looks great

**crazykamper** · 11-15-2005, 03:02 PM

dang! looks sick, i for sure want to do something to my suspension, sway bars.... but i dont know about a drop, maybe, if i really want to put crazy amounts of money into stuff that i really dont need, ill do it.... i already have an lxi, and hanling is good enough for now, when i get some money to spare, and lots of it, its probably gonna go into a new car, and i will then have more money from the sale of my 3g to put into the new car.... But, hopefully i wont sell the 3g, its my first car, so i dont really want to sell it.... and its in really nice condition...

**EricW** · 11-15-2005, 05:41 PM

Looks good. Nice work

**Strugglebucket** · 11-15-2005, 06:40 PM

did you paint over the rubber stuff that the trailing arm is coated in? it looks nice.

just wait till you feel how much better your brake pedal feels with the rear discs. watch out for tiny, tiny leaks from the ss line fittings. i had to tighten two of mine a few pounds over stock specs.

**military mase** · 11-15-2005, 07:12 PM

for the trailing arms and lowr control arms i painted over the rubber stuff. I had an extra arm and tried taking it off but that's to much work right now plus it's on there for a reason. I'll keep in mind about the brake lines.
