As long as the garage isn't freezing it shouldn't be a bad day.
Look forward to your impressions AroundtheG37

 

LOL, yeah, getting the car up on stands is half the battle. I've been thinking real hard about buying a garage lift because why not make it a bit easier on myself?

It was miserable yesterday (40 and rainy) but thankfully rotor/pad installs are pretty easy. 65 and sunny today so the world is my oyster.

 

So I was looking for a solution to keep my dashcam running while the car was off and parked that didn't require me to splice into the rearview mirror and break something so I found this:


Then bought a 3 USB port AC adapter and a 6 foot USB type A to type B adapter so I could keep my phone charging and the dashcam running off that while the car is on. When the car is parked just swap the cable over to the battery. Great success.

 

You can Also use this power magic pro adapter and never have to touch any cables again and it connects to fuse box near the driver pedals. You can also just run the cable along the side pillars for a clean install.

 

Days when a half inch is called for and 5 inches come down make me glad I bought a new beater...

 

Now that's a badass Beater! Limo tint all the windows! No one will mess with you.

 

Good looks. The timer feature is genius

 

Getting the windows tinted Monday, not limo though. It's already a b1tch to try to park this land yacht, I'm going 35% all around.

 

Reminds me of the Mercury Marauder.

Some cars are designed to be murdered. That was one of them.

 

Man, what a day. Didn't get to the rear camber arms but I'm going to see if the stock arms will keep me in spec first. Hope to clean up the car soon but here is a quick pic of them installed.

 

So you drove to a gas station

How was the handling/ride?

Congrats on getting it knocked off in a day, in a garage, on jack stands

 

I was so tired I didn't really feel like putting it through the paces so I just went to the store to get some beer and called it a day. Initial assessment is man, it even feels low but not floaty so that's good. When I hit bumps in the road I hear a knock so I need to check that out. Fun stuff.

 

How in the world do you figure out where to set the CO height when to do that properly you have to set the car back down? Without a lift, I think that would drive even a patient person insane. I have this image of you screaming and scaring the neighbor kids.

That first pic looks good, BTW. Need better pics to really see how it's turning out.

 

How are they adjusted? Do you need to be under the car?

If not, I wouldn't bother with Jack stands once installed. I'd lower it, check the height, then raise it, make an adjustment and lower and recheck.

If however, you need to get under the car, then I'd use Jack stands.

I personally feel confident in a jack if I'm not going under there. Not sure if this behavior is frowned upon, but it is what it is.

If all I was doing is changing a tire, I wouldn't bother with Jack stands...Jack only. Again, not sure if this is sound advice. Please consult your lawyer, and don't do anything I just said above (legal disclaimer).

 

I don't mind doing the fronts as all I have to do is jackup the car and take off the wheels, then adjust while on the car. The rear is a different story though as you have to take out the spring in order to adjust them. Luckily, the rears are at perfect height so all good there. LOL, it can be a little bit frustrating but I don't get upset about situations that I knew I was getting myself into it. What would be the sense in that?


Working on it.
