[QUOTE]Originally posted by 50 Deep: [QB] Making some progress with the suspension install. Took a trip up to Sonoma to meet the man Bruce Griggs himself. Pretty cool experience to wander around the shop a bit. Had some good conversation, learned a lot about the science behind the suspension components, and then headed back home. Lots of goodies <img src="https://i.ibb.co/RQFMfnJ/6606893-A-1-FC0-4-F77-923-B-C172-E5-B9-A5-E2.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> I spent a little time assembling the coil over kit on the Griggs Racing Varishock. Also did the install on the rear bump stops. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/dGjLS8T/CEDB5-E38-2-E29-48-C5-9-B2-A-7067870-A1-F6-A.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/LRj3rvT/FB0-BAE3-E-1-BBB-4-D39-911-F-95-C6-FE81-A449.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/XW0xNGr/98976-EF0-1-D52-490-D-9921-C737-F5278407.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/GWD60gZ/2-E9284-C6-386-C-4-B5-A-AB75-BA7-B9-C83-D98-E.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> I found a good deal on some Koni yellow double adjustable struts locally and they will be used for the front coil over kit. Not going overboard on the front as an SLA is in the future. I will say that I miss the days you could find anything you needed for a Foxbody build on Craigslist for pennies on the dollar and at a moments notice. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/Lp4yjQN/DA9-FF757-D511-4-CDC-9-C0-E-98-A12-D06-FE52.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> New 18” Signature Wheel Reserved SV902 came in. These are an 18x9 / 18x10 4-lug direct bolt on to any Foxbody. Designed to fit with only removal of the rear quad shock while sporting 255/35/18 & 285/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Got the tires mounted thanks to Premier Mobile tire that came to the house. Then I did some test fitting and love the look. Weights came in at 20/22 lbs which will be great for track use and an overall more enjoyable and nimble car. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/T1fMNhV/D0371704-6-B62-41-F3-B231-A80190-C9-CC82.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/5rvYhTX/4647-D496-7020-4-BF4-913-B-A5998-D94-AF3-A.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/JKz6qxF/EA5-DFA46-920-D-4-B91-AC47-CF3-AF7-B70-ED2.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/dKSNBb3/5-EC21835-DED0-4-E52-8-FD4-639-E8-E3-A0-A60.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> I also built a set of Signature Wheel Flagship Series FOUR for my brothers 86 coupe build. He will have an IRS setup and narrower front fenders so these are an 18x8.5 / 18x9.5. Weighing in at 22lbs each they will be an excellent lightweight wheel for street/track use. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/yVfFD7k/1-C645316-FB8-E-432-C-A12-C-EB2776-B55-DA4.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/kDZwBDZ/99-E8637-E-3-DE0-4-DD8-BA56-CEBC3-C45-E8-A3.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> Had to do a quick test fit so I could sleep that night. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/YtFHtY5/9-E1-B1-A61-BA54-4-C11-B168-933318-C61792.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> I wanted to update the car to modern standards so I ordered some Redline Hood/Hatch Struts. These little things go a long way <img src="https://i.ibb.co/wyLxvqC/C1-E35-ACD-AF5-A-47-CA-BB38-887-F29-F8-DD39.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/NjbBw5v/BC372036-85-F2-463-F-BBB4-BED777081-C32.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> [/QB][/QUOTE]
