apr stage III ;)


Probably springs and motormounts. Are you looking at replacing the dogbone mount under the engine? I think I might replace that pretty soon and get teh es inserts for the rest.

i would say to get motor mounts or race springs. motor mounts are only about $40. dont bother with the tip just go straight to stage 3 :D

Springs, get rid of the 4x4 package :)

Suspension is a key part of delivering power to the ground.

Did you get them from options? The race springs?
Brian

Yeah I got them from options. I went with the progress springs which are the 1.8 drop. I think that's a good mix between the race and sport springs without killing the ride. Thanks for the suggestion on using options though. They shipped out the next day and were only 127.00 :D

No shocks/struts as of yet. I'll go ahead and see how long the stockers hold up first. I'm going to do all of the work myself so no additional costs there.

The site was optionsauto.com

Brian...do you know how to install springs on our cars? If so, hook me up:)
Brian

Yeah I think I can do it. I'll help you out when you get a set. I'll have mine tomorrow so we will see how that goes.

I heard that the front passenger side spring is a BITCH to get in. You have to take the whole brake out while you put the spring in.

Yeah that's what I hear too. I'll see if I can post a step by step install when I do mine tomorrow.
