Front spring in and wheels on!!

When I disassembled the front control arms the lower ball joint fell out!! I had an extra used lower control arm so I ended up cleaning it up a little and installing my not very old lower ball joint. Springs went in well and it rides much smoother. Before I removed the springs the underside of the trim was 29.5" approx. It now sits at 28.25", so just over an inch drop. EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks Jon for the springs (94x2), I am very happy with the results.

Schwing!

is it a hot rod yet?

Lol, still to slow!

Still needs more lower.

Thanks guys. Have to get the grille and fender painted and she is ready for WF 13. At least until something else breaks!!

That looks FANTASTIC! I love the wheels, and the stance, and the CAR!

The wheels look nice Tim, especially with the nose a bit lower.

Thanks! And it does not ride near as harsh as it did either.

Looks great, Tim!
Excellent choices!

The guys at the alignment shop approved. Thanks Joe!

What springs did you use? Looks nice...but kinda low for me I think..then again mine could be lower...

Vogtlands and Thanks Chris!

Wait... Mine's on Vogtlands and it looks lower than that by about an inch??? Did they settle some more?

I need to cut about half a coil out of my fronts when I do the C5 brakes this year...

Ok so I re-measured it this morning and it seems it settled with the initial 2 days of driving. It is now @ 27". Which is 2.5" lower than where I started.

Oh and I ordered a set of ZQ8 bump stops to stop it hitting the bumps stop so harshly.

Looks great Tim. Love the wheels. You have really done a great job on your wagon. Very nice.

Looks really good!

Wow,didnt think it would settle that much but you're going to have to be real careful with speedbumps from now on.How much lower is that compared to the previous springs?
