Shortened the struts and have the springs in hand, just waiting on the coilover hardware from T3. Apparently the Saturday Fed-Ex driver can't get on-base...turds.

I have at least one spare to every suspension part on the car, so I modded the spare struts. All is well, I don't like downtime either.

Sure, don't you have a coilover set-up already? Just need to pick up shorter inserts for more travel?

With the weight on the front end it's time to step up to a set of custom-valved Bilsteins or a 8610- model Koni. I hadn't shortened a set before, but it was easy, bring it on.

I've never seen rock-solid engine weight numbers. They're all educated guesses, and for all that still not terribly accurate.
