    Suspension Completed

    Installed the Monroe Quick Struts in the front and QA1 rear adjustable shocks. I set the QA1's to #4 and they feel fine to me. For spacers on the rear shocks I used 3 stainless steel nuts two on the outer one on the inner. Also two washer on each shock to protect the rubber bushing.

    My rear metco control arms, watts link, and front and rear addco sway bars been on the ride. I checked all the bushings also today. She rides great, just gotta settle a lil on the front but in time it will. This car isn't a daily driver so no biggy. Pics attached.

    If you don't mind me asking what brand and model did you use? I got mine for a steal off eBay. But you can order them from Naake site or Summit Racing.
