Yep, I still have the 4x4 stance!
I have heard the Eibach kit is nice too. A local shop does them for $400 installed. I don't have experience with the ride though. What does the GF kit run installed? Thanks for the info!

 

I'm not familar with what is included in the Eibach Kit besides springs, so I'm not sure if it would retian the air ride.

I want to say this kit is around $1,000 installed, so it is considerably more. It includes front torsion keys, rear coils, sway bar spacers and air brackets.

Sounds like a pretty comprehensive kit. Much more so than a set of 4 shocks!

Thanks for the info. The truck looks great. Keep up the good work!

 

The drop came out really tight. I think it effectively lowered the car 4 inches in the rear, and 3 in the front. I am running 265/35-22s and there is no rub anywhere anytime. I will switch to a larger sidewall soon, to smoothen the ride out a little bit. I don't mind the way it rides right now - I like the suspension stiff, whereas the wife...

Weedo -have you dynoed with 9 PSI? 5 PSI is plenty for my driving style right now, but the key words are "right now"

Back to being 20 years old again for a short while today (like 7 seconds). Burned some rice, fun, fun, fun, Not so much fun for the Guy in the Celica turbo next to me. He ran out of hp early...looked upset! Then he ran out of NOx, and he looked really p!$$ed. 70 mph comes fast nowadays...he did not believe that I had a stock Vortec. Wonder why?

400 miles (I drive a lot) and 14.3 mpg since the turbo install. I am very happy with that! Yes, I'll get some photos.

awesome.. congrats!

 

Sweet, any trans mods?

I want a turbo!

 

Yes shift kit, that's it.

are you going to the track to sat with the rest of the liv. guys?

 

Yep, once on 9psi. It was ~470hp/525tq at 10.8 A/F. I'm going to have it Tuned differently to compensate for the Methanol. Meth makes it run rich which means I can lean it out more and get the #'s up quite a bit. I'm planning to go a bit higher, 10-12psi depending on how it goes once the new trans goes in. The only time it shifts ok is at 5psi and I've only run that once just to feel it and two runs on the dyno. Right now it's a joke.
At 5psi it was roughly 100hp less and 110tq less but no where near as rich. I'd figure about a 120hp increase at 9psi, with the Meth, and correct A/F. I'll know within the next couple of weeks and post all the results. Plus I'll head to the track again. I only made it once. Again, the trans slipping this bad scares me!

 

If you don't mind me asking...
Are these still $6K?
