I’ve been on here a while now, suppose I should post up some pics. These are from a trip on US 50 from California to Utah.

Well after a very expensive few weeks and a solid days work, I got the front brakes replaced, front and rear shocks/struts, front strut bushings and bearings, front and rear sway bar links and rear h&r sway bar all put in.

A sign of things to come...
The reason one shock is missing is due to the oil seal blowing when I went to take the picture, all that it left was a puddle of putrid smelling oil.
After this was all done the very next day we took her on a 500 mile shakedown. Found a couple niggles and got those sorted out the next day.
After the brakes finished bedding in which took closer to 1000 miles for the buzzing vibration to go away and the suspension has finished settling the car drives so much better. The special actives have been a dream! I have gotten some flak for not going with a more aggressive suspension setup however I love driving my car, I’ve put over 50k miles in about 3 years, and with 2 pretty severe back injuries ride comfort is high on my list when it comes to suspension.
