big brakes, new suspension

Post by autotransgression »

finally got the 500 brake kit (with compensator delete) installed inside those pretty, pretty monzas. also installed new upper and lower a-arms (ended up being more economical than the parts and labor to replace ball joints and bushings...) and progressive springs. the car sits a bit lower, without being stupid. everything about it feels more planted and responsive. SO excited for the weekend...

so, if anyone needs some a-arms, they are yours for shipping plus let's say another ten for my time. but i assure you, the attached bushings and ball joints are nothing to write home about. :)

I installed lowering springs, front and rear sway bars and Marks wilwood big brake kit and my spider handles as well as my Volvo c30 and stopping power is WOW. Thanks to Alissons Auto.
