John, nope I have not forgot. Was just telling the girlfriend I needed her to write a check for you. (I don't have checks) I will mail it Monday as the mail man just came by. Or if you're going to be at the meet next weekend I can bring it to you then. Up to you.

Andrew, some good information. Every bit of it is good stuff especially since you're a foci driver also! I will look up your site when I'm at a PC and not on a phone. I'm pretty sure the diff is the next big thing after the suspension is done. Don't have much time to do anything big to the car before Nameless.

Chris

You have time to bolt the front suspension in. And the rear shocks even if you have not cut the clearance for the coilover springs...

John, yes I should have time. Got pretty much everything done minus bleeding brakes and oil change. Do you have the rears? Would I just use the springs I currently have for the rears then do the coil over later?

Google JVAB , address and phone is there
Or.....(And I'm not just chewing you outm Chris, OK?) You could, thinking that the things were done a while ago, and wondering a little reflective-like "I wonder how JV pays for materials and anodizing and frieght since soooooooooooooooooooo many people don't seem to have any urgency in paying for stuff that is done...?"

Or you could drop it off so I could get the funds sooner since I need to buy more steel, aluminum etc.

Yeah and if I'm not---but I am supposed to be here with the girlies---duct tape it to a brick or cinderblock and throw it thru the window.

You mounted up the fronts yet?
Wanna do it?

Nope, fronts not mounted yet i want to bad. the struts are just stairing at me as i drool. I figure I'd wait till I got the rears so that I'm all even.

I'll try to get to your place at that time. I'll be leaving the Windermere area (east of U-village) at 3:30. Traffic shouldn't be too bad at that time.

No, not yet. Still do not have the rears.
I've heard different suggestions why I should put them on and why I shouldn't based on having stock rears. I honestly don't know what I should do. Maybe I should make a poll. Wouldn't take long to throw them on so I got plenty of time.

Maybe listen to who knows suspension best... Just a thought.

and so if there's any surprises, or you need a spacer for the front wheels there's TIME to do things. You are frittering away time. Put the fronts on.
