Top hat assembly

Take a look at the attached picture. Is that the correct order of the bits when installing them on a shock?

Seems legit.

That's what mine look like.

Should look like this when you're done...

Now that's funny!

Thanks guys....you too Rick.

Shocks assembled and rears installed.

Done and ready for autocross. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/21/ygu9e3eq.jpg

You're gonna love it. Welcome to the suspended side.

okay, so I have tried finding it, but what does it take to just put a stock NB hat on an NA shock? I got some R package Bilsteins with RB springs on them, and I want to put NB hats on them, but I can't seem to find a straightforward answer like "these are the exact parts you need". Also, do you need to do the fronts, or just the rears for that little bit of extra shock travel?

^Parts needed are in the first post.

BTW, you need some baby moons for those steelies...

The back end isn't as low as I expected. I must note that I really like the steelies with beauty rings! I say have 'em widened to 7.5" and go for it. (aside from that being a super heavy option, of course)

It has settled a bit since then...I'll post up a pic later today.

Steelies are the new 6UL's (for cheap bastards!)

Now I'm ready for AXhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/23/na9y8uty.jpg

needs black mirrors!

^The wheels are matt bronze...can't tell in that light.

Nice.

Looks great Sam!

mmmm... I like White...:rolleyes:

Thanks guys. Did a major foam-ectomy as well.

I still have the seat you foam-ectomied in your old red 92. Love it.

What are your opinions of the suspension? I've had the same setup for 5 years and have no complaints.

^I think this latest foamectomy rivals the one I did in the '92! I haven't driven on the new suspension much, but I'm pleased so far. I am getting a little 'rocking' from front to rear on rough roads. I also need to better adjust the new front end-links and get the car aligned.

Sammm, that car looks amazing!
What are they new wheels called? They look just like the Subzeros that Konig sold at the turn of the century.

^Thanks Steve! ....Konig Lightspeed's

thanks for showing me what i need to do next... looks great

Good looking car, Sam!
