Ok in about a week Raceway park is gonna have its open track deal, so I kicked it into overdrive to have my car ready. I was gonna set up the headers on my car, and exhaust, and install my adjustable PHB, and LCA relocation brackets as well as my Eibachs. So I wanted to start putting the fronts on today, and wadda ya know, the friggin top nut on the strut is gone!!! its just chunks of rust in it fallign out. I went onto ebay and bought a set of front struts ( Bilsteins) but I dont know if they'll get here in time. I wish I would of bought them a couple weeks ago like I was planning to, but backed off. so now Im in a bind cause I want nothing more then to go to this but all my plans got screwed. Anybody have a spare set of Bilsteins I could borrow? :(

well two things arise from that tho, 1. I already bought the bilsteins for my car and 2. you are using V8 springs wiht that setup. Whyd you take em of Alex?

Duh forgot V8 vs. V6. I have QA1 Coil-Overs with the road spring up front now :nod:

go to napa and get the napa brand shock mount and spacer that comes with it. its a little pricey but you might as well if the old mount is crappy. the napa brand is the only one out there thats as good as OEM so don't settle for a different brand. i'll look for the part numbers for you

edit: napa part numbers 2613195, 2613196, and 2613197. you will need two of the last one (2613197). it will run you about $240 total
