just remember that our cars dont like being low so youll have to change axles a lot, but you get to a point where it only takes 30 min

naw...water pump was leaking, ive been double checking to make sure it wasnt since the replacement and i dont see any water leaks...i have this thing that when im in a certain section of a car replacing, repairing, maintaining, if theres an opportunity to prevent/upgrade i do it while i'm in there, hence why I went ahead and did the thermostat, hoses, belts and coolant flush at the same time. i was hoping to have found a stock diameter lightweight pulley, but that was cut short when i contacted, ralco, i believe it was about theirs and they said they didnt carry it.

but yea. im getting some coilpacks from a member on here, test run more or less, if they work...they are going to work until they fail then if they fail while i still have teh car, ill get some new ones. so since thats the case. i'm looking to do my coilovers really soon.

lol thanks...i'm considering going lower...but two things prevent me...needing an alignment because its light my driver side wheel is like this \ and my passenger side is like this | which is causing a vibration i know when i accelerate and i can feel it making it difficult to steer straight. im going to call around today to see who can do it for me

oh the other thing is...ive got it as low as my jack allows minus the use of blocks

oh yea...come to find out i DO have GSP axles...per that thread i read, they do not come w/ the damper. so advance ordered another one so i can see if it has the damper on it, if it doesnt, Napa across teh street has access to at LEAST the driver side axle from DSS for $70 brand new...beats paying $125...i dont know who/what raped that guy in that other thread for $125, but i'm game for $70

SN: My passenger side is the GSP which i will either be replacing with what Advance gives me or hopefully Napa also carries the passenger side in DSS brand as well. but driver side will be purchased from Napa...
