Suspension was next. I decided to go with the emusa s13 coilovers and the zccjdm kit. I thought I'd save a dime or two with the emusu coilovers... which was dumb. I'll explain later. On top of the coilovers, I bought an entire poly bushing kit and decided to get to work. Here are the fronts assembled and ready to go on.
Again, at this point, everything I touched, broke. I ended up getting new rear master cylinders, new spindle pins, new ss brake lines, new brake master cylinder, yadda yadda yadda.
I should say that I am pleased with the zccjdm product, but I wanted camber adjustment in the rear, especially with how low I was planning on going. Here's the zccjdm rear plate.
Here's what I had my machinist make.
I also wanted to retain as much of the original body "strength" as possible, so instead of cutting out the entire top of the strut plate, I just cut what I needed to install the new plates from the bottom. I'm not sure if that makes sense in text, so here are some pics.
Holes cut:
Plates in:
The other modification I made to zccjdm's design was to drill out his threaded tube, and then at a roset (plug) weld in addition to the welds around the bottom of the tube... a little extra strength never hurt, eh?
