[QUOTE="ReplicaR, post: 926402, member: 9209"] Did some more suspension fiddling yesterday. I had to replace one of the coilover sleeves because the set screw on the adjustable lower perch got stripped, and I could not loosen it up and adjust it. Tried to drill it, but my bits were not doing anything, so I decided to just replace it. What I didn't know is that now MM no longer colorcodes their coil overs, and all the sleeves are black now, whether it's Koni or Bilstein. So now I have 3 blue coil overs, and one black. lol Also, had a chance to level out the suspension since I can adjust all 4 corners now. Dropped front another half inch, and a full inch in the back. Still have plenty of travel front and back, because I was able to modify bump stops after traveling out the shocks and struts and verifying that it is safe indeed, and that shaft is not going to hit the footvalve. This way I can be low to the ground, and suspension will still have it's travel in check, and work as it is intended. I will post pictures of the car's ride height later. Later next week I will also be converting to Bolt through style bumpsteer kit, and installing an 03 Cobra rack and pinion. The bumpsteer kit became necessary after I installed MM k-member, and ran out of the bumpsteer adjustment range with tapered stud kit. The cobra rack will hopefully give me a sportier feel in the steering as a lot of people claim, and help reduce the play that I have in my current rack. [/QUOTE]
