......to be guilded even more! I just purchased a set of KYB AGX's and Tein lowering springs! Should be here before the end of the week and installed during the next weekend....I hope.....

 

nice, try to capture some before, during, and after pics - may come in handy for some others interested in the process

 

will do!

 

no no no no.....no chevy's allowed. fords are ok, since they own volvo. but come on Chris...NO CHEVY'S...

 

.................**** off

 

maybe i will..................

 

Personally....i think i've done alright with the hand me down Cav from the Wife....it's no Volvo but it gets me to the liquor store. (so does the Vovlo i guess.....hmmmm, perhaps i should start spending money on Geeves for awhile)

 

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN FOO!!!!!!

 

parts are in...begining work on Saturday....keep all yalls fingures crossed

 

fingures?

 

After several hours more time that was absolutly nessessary i finally got Pete lowered...here it is

lol....funny thing is I'm lower than my 240 now.....and that's impressive since i'm sitting on the bottom out bumpers in that car!

 

Looks Good I like it.

 

no no no no.....spend the money on Geeves....lol. or maybe sell Geeves to me? LMAO

 

har....

I'ma start spending money on Geeves now. Well......to be fare I'm still going to spend money on Pete. The difference is it'll be genneral maintenance stuff. I've got this wierd shudder that got worse after i lowered the car....only when i accelarate hard though. Kind of frustrating

 

did you get an alignment done? that might fix it...lol

 

no I haven't...but there's more to it than just needing an alignment. Aside from its pulling to the left (that's the alignment part) It's the HARD accelaration part that's throwing me. That's the only time it happens....past like 3,500 RPMs. I've had several vehicles that have needed alignments in my driving career but this kind of shudder (almost a growl) is something new to me. The only thing that ever came close to this kind of a feel was when my Celica had a toe to the front left wheel....but that was a violent shudder that would get worse the faster you went. I think there's something bent under my car....

At any rate. I'm going to take it in for the customary alignment it needs and tell them to inspect the under cariage....see if they can find something wrong.

 

-pats your head- good boy

 

The suspension isn't bottoming out when accrlerating is it?
Like sitting on the Bump stop?

 

oh man...i totally forgot about bump stops. DUH...stupid me.

 

negative...I greased the shocks to see where they were going in relation to the bottom out stops. On a hard accelaration they don't even come close. The closest I come to hitting the stops is going over speed bumps (I looked pretty silly at the local Target parking lot wiping and then re-greasing my shocks....A few people came over to ask if I needed some help. That's Minnesota Nice for ya.
