So i did a mondo suspension overhaul last weekend. Did the following
H&R springs
Boge TurboGas
Strut mounts all around
New strut boots all around
Tie Rod ends (front)
Ball joints (front)
Brake lines all around
8 hours labor. 1 cup coffee, 2 mountain dews
Saturday
Pull fronts, find mismatched struts. One is a Cofap i think. Other is a Koni adjustable that was blown (bunch of oil in the housing) Threw them away. Good riddens.
Sunday
Before I started, I thought, hmmm. What kind of struts are in the back. They didn't seem that bad before. Finally get them out and low and behold, Yellow Koni sport adjustables. Hot DAMN.
Cleaned them up, pushed the rod down, adjusted them to half stiff and re installed.
After getting it all back together, I can tell you that there is a VERY big difference between Boge and Koni. Now the only thing I need is a set of adjustables up front. I somehow need to sneak that in without the wife knowing ;)
