Small technicality...In the Terms of the Sale area at the bottom of the listing the word "truck" should be substituted for "car", also it should read "18 years old" not 35. I borrowed this from a previous listing and didnt change it.

It should have, lol

I put the prc susp. and 11'' brakes on my V6 car a week or so before the block self-ventilated, along with the TC swaybar up front, man, what a diff that made...gonna pull it all apart this winter tho, clean it all up, paint, some rust repair, and new bushings, CHE arms...etc.
 
The TC susp. is ed good compared to weak, worn out V6 stuff...when i first got the car, you could push down on the front, go in the house, make a ham sammich, and come back to see the bastid still bouncing...that didn't last long, let me tell ya.
Anyway, sorry to 'jack the thread, y'all can have it back now :beatyoass:
