The old shock is DEAD.

LETS GOOOOOO

Did you go B6?

Yes stock springs are fine for me and I run through winter and don’t want to go lower. The old shock is appauling it taking seconds to move an inch when compressed. I have a video but it’s too large to upload.

Really gotta give Ford credit. Nice hard chrome on the bolt, no galling or corrosion. The car body galvanizing is shit, but the hardware that connects everything has been better than I’d have to thought on this car.
8 year in Cleveland winters with sale. Whizzed off easy.

It must be sooooo nice to have a garage in which to work on your ride!

I have not had that for the last 20+ years.

Yeah, even if I could find coil overs which would suit my ride height/adjustability needs, I am also hesitant to go that route due to what the salt soup would do to their collars/threading in the winter (even with slathering them in some sort of surface protectant coating).

Years ago, in the UK, my uncle used to soak his new exhaust in old engine oil before he fitted it. Lasted much longer after doing that.

It's the best. Luckily I've got access to a spare car so I can let this sit if I break something too!

Better than working int he driveway knowing I have to be at work in 3 hours!

Not going to lie. This is kinda a pain to realign.

Make sure to get an alignment also after all of this* so you don't ruin a set of tires.

You can’t tell me what to do! You’re not my real dad!

Also all Bilsteins are on. Sorry Aaron, didn’t actually use the rear springs 😅

We’ll see how they sit after a week. Regardless my old struts were just terrible.

Are those B6s? If so, they'll likely stay pretty high. Mine did at least, even over half a year/several thousand miles. Though I should mention my car is practically gutted. I got H&R Super Sport springs in the back to bring the rear height back down to normal.

After

Sits much more level overall now

Mine don’t seem that bad in the rear. Besides, I’m sure I’ll break them in at a new track day. Still have some tire left and I haven’t gone yet due to stuff 😕

Wow that is a massive amount of gap on both of those.
