I finally got my new suspension installed!:D Took about 7hrs with my brother helping to get it done. A couple flying springs and some busted knuckles and it was done. Did get a small scratch in the paint from one of the springs. I installed the springs from the Bullit mustang and the matching Tokico shocks/struts. It handles ten times better, nice and flat thru the curves and its lowered it about 3/4-1". Just enough ground clearance to handle some of those mountain roads. Here are a couple pictures of the install.

Looks good! Lets see some pics of the entire car with the new stance..

oooo nice factory installed rust!

kidding man, looks good.. i hate doing suspension work... pisses me off so much... no clue why either its fairly straight forward too! hahaha.

Looking good man! Now maybe you can keep up with my Z28 around those curves...Or maybe not!!:finger: :finger: :D :D

I was going to get some "new stance" pictures. But, I wanted to wait a couple days to let the springs settle, and now its snowing and their calling for snow on and off for the next couple days or so. So, I will have to wait for a nice day to get the car out.
Oh and self, a z28 wouldnt of touched my car with the stock springs in.:D

No but my Malibu would rip you up !!! :rolleyes: :D

Hahah, big talk mister SVT. But really yea, you'd probably get my around those curves, lol. I don't really know. Never done too much auto-x. Been to a couple of road race tracks though, just driven around, not anything serious. Not really my cup of tea I suppose.
Wait a minute...I WILL DESTROY YOUR MUSTANG ON ANY RACING VENUE!!!!:finger: :finger: :finger: heheheh j/k...Just had to do it though:D

Come on now, we all know the mustang is the best performer in the world. Shoot, and them Cobras with there special suspension would tear a 911 all to pieces.;)

My Honda beats all!!!

When TV uses it as a ninja weapon:bloated:

KEEEEEEEEYYAIIIIIIIIIIIII! *TV swiging a honda*

It all breaks loose when T.V starts swinging a Honda. Its time to run to the hills and beg for mercy.

Well this is the best "after install" picture I can get. Getting tired of this constant snow, ready for some warm temperatures and open roads.

It snows in Kentucky? I never knew... I'm quite a bit north of you, and it hardly ever snows here... None this year, it's about 10 degrees outside during the day right now :)

The average snowfall for central Kentucky is around 12-18". The Eastern parts of the state in the mountains gets well over 2 feet a year. So, far this season we have received 14.1" Most of the snow fall occurs in small amounts at a time, usually in the range of 1-4 inches per snow event, like right now there is 2.5" on the ground and there calling for another couple inches on Sunday night. Many people think Ky is to far south for much snow fall, but its positon in the Ohio valley sets it up for a small amount of snow, mostly due to the high percipitation amounts in the 50 inches a year range combined with January average temps at the freezing mark. Anyway its 12 deg outside right now, and I wish it would warm up. As far north as you are Im suprised you dont get hammered by more snow. To Far from the Gulf I guess.

94svt: your baby has to sit outside in the snow??? :(

Another of the down sides to living in an apartment building. It has nothing other then its car cover to protect it from the environment. But, its a pretty good quality car cover, multi layer, breathable and extra soft. It will do untill I get a house with a garage.
