Tomorrow I'm going to the local j/y and pulling all the necessary parts, along with a bunch of pics and wo...

Re: sway bar question

Re: Got GS parts, for an RS!!!

just to let you know, i swapped the suspension (spring/strut as a combo) from a '93 GS to my '92 RS and it raised it by like 1"!!! the springs are stiffer, but because they're made to go on a heavier car, on the RS they lift up the car so bad it looks like a truck. not even kidding. i went from...
