Yah its easier only Doin things once especially when you know your taking a bunch of stuff out and you want to replace it all. I was reading through and I see all these threads about long builds well I think I won. Got the car when I was 14 and im 22 now and still no where near finished. I spent most of those years living at home and buying stuff I needed and rat holing everything and just tinkering with what was on the car but im starting to forget where I put my stuff. I swear I can find half my stuff now after getting married and buying a house. I swear my wifes hiding my parts so I don't lock myself in the garage and work on my car all the time.

Well after this talk of suspension I got a little motivation as I was browsing through cragslist this morning I came across some brand new hotchkis springs for 75 bucks. They were suppose to be stock height but they ended up being 1in drop springs but it didn't really matter so I bought em. So they went on tonight with the rest of my rear end parts. Once I was done putting the new springs and links on my rear I decided to pull the front springs and trim em down a little. Well im half way there and gave up on the passenger side. It wont break loose so I gave up for the night. Probably finish it Sunday after church.

Pulled a 9.83 at 132. Pulled the shocks off the car and lowered the tire pressure and pulled a 9.80 at 130 and lost 2 tenths on my reaction but picked up my 60ft. Went fast enough to get kicked off the track for good until my car meets the requirements for the sport com class. Either way im happy
