Talking got a few new things, and want a few new things.

Just got all the parts installed..

4x Tokico OEM(like) Blue struts, thanks toysoarer, went without a hitch
1x Diazen Front Control Arm Bushings, big thanks to Todd @ TME, for sending out all new sleeves and misc. pieces, plus suggesting new boots, which replaced my old torn ones.
1x Diazen F&R Sway Bars/Bushings thanks to toysoarer

Got an alignment too with the new sways...

Purchased the black caliper spray from Todd, but didn't have time plus this crappy weather..

Drove home mostly in a straight line, and it's been pouring in L.A. all friggen day...

Now I'm going to be super-ancy to go out and test this sucker out...

Guess I'll have to wait till like tuesday/wednesday for this rain to leave?





This should bring my 93 with 146K on it back to new, the bushings on the front control arms were really shot, typical for the car. Hopefully now I won't have to touch them again till the ball joints go.

Suspension is officially done for now, think those 4pot LS4 brakes for $200 maybe next on my mod list, after replacing all the blown speakers(rear deck and front driverside door midrange).

Than I'd like to look into the ECU programming or the Apexi SAFC-2 + programming, and have my exhaust guy do a whole new H or X pipe exhaust system with those magnaflows.
