Midwest F-Body Club TrackWeekend @ Road America
I put the coilovers on RD's car last night.
Didn't know if he would be pissed or not after he said he was just going to have it done at a shop.
So now the shocks are on all 4 corners. Just waiting on the new end links to put on the front, recut the threads on the left front ball joint and adjut the height on the corners and he will have his car back. A grand total of about an hour or 2s worth of work.

You want to do everything and get it all done wendesday so you can have your car back and then throw the end links on when they get here thurs or friday?
if i rethread the ball joint tomorrow after work, i could run you to my house thursday when you get off work, we could put the end links on and you could have your car back and then we could adjust the height friday after work.
I found out today the 2nd best looking girl in my spanish class is 17...crap.

and drive red devil's car I cant drive red devils car. the front suspension might just fall off.
thats kinda my fault though.
my car is pimpin under all the dirt, vacuum leak, new CEL i got today, fender liner that is dragging the ground, bubbling window tint, etc. Its only saving grace is there are no more flying H's on it anywhere.

Id like to put this out there so if someone searches for it they get a good answer.
Anyone who thinks the Rear shocks are harder to replace than the front shocks are absolutely out of their ******* minds.
