hey richard what suspension did u put in? i thought you were selling the car!

 

for the rear i just lifted the rear up on the diff. the rear shocks comes off with a push of the brakes. i didnt need to unbolt the sways. seriously only took me like 15 min both sides

 

i put in tien flex..i have installed them and lowered th car..its raked at this point with 1 inch of tire tuck in front an half inch in rear

i just put it to stiff tonight and tooled around to feel what that is like now i am going to look at the rebound..and i should be aligning the car soon

looking for info on rebound now

 

-- anyone have the edfc wire coil up on them due to damper rod spinning..?

 

-- here is an interesting discovery i made on my TEIN Flex with EDFC installation that i'd thought i'd share in hopes of getting some feedback

-- the damper rods on my front shocks tend to spin, putting tension on the edfc wires....so much so, that the drivers side damper rod spun 3 revolutions wrapping the wire around the rod itself

-- i've spoken to TEIN about it, and they are not 100% sure why it happens, they've seen the problem before on other cars (notably the 350z) and have devised a bracket to help keep the rod from spinning, and they have offered to make up a bracket for me as well

-- we did confirm that the installation was correctly done, and that nothing is loose - they in fact called the shop that did the installation to go over how it was done (nice gesture on TEIN for doing that for me)

-- just wondering if anyone has had this issue ?

 

Nice DIY. I used it to do mine this past weekend. Here are some pics...

 

I thought that you don't have to remove the upper control arm......?

 

It all depends.....makes it easier if u do...u can be damned if u don't!!!

 

it makes it easier or you can shimmy it out

 

Thanks for the write up helped out a ton. Might want to add though when you jack the car up to preload you have to tightent up the ring. Me being a newb I didn't do it now I have to jack the car up all over again.
