| other: | This was a very time and money consuming part of the project - especially
the lowering set was expensive. I eventually went back to the manufacturer
because I felt the ride was too hard for the money. They rebuilt the
shocks to my liking while I performed the labor of taking apart the
suspension and putting it back together again. It was worth it, the
car drives pretty smooth for being lowered, especially at higher speeds. I used stereo parts from two previous cars for the setup in Project X. The muffler needed replacement, but I didn't feel like spending money on a new one, so I used a cherry bomb I had lying around. |
