A really big weekend project! - lots of pics!
Monday, July 14, 2008 1:11 AM
Can you guess what it is?

Project Swing Arms!!! (rear control arms) - some of you should know why, especially all of you guys with the air ride!

My dream have come true after 4 years of wanting and wishing to get it done. Until last weekend.. a BIG thanks to Shawn for all of his big help!!! I cant thank him enough, he knows that. Also I cant forget about Jeffy (Bagdfire) for some of his tips and measurement when we talked about it while ago. AND! I want to thank Jeff Pautler (Phatlier) for the swing arm donatation from his totalled Z. Without them especially Shawn... it would never have happened. Shawn and I really worked our asses off together as a team over all the weekend to make this happen, here's some build pictures. enjoy!














































DONE!!!!!!!@!@!

Looks much better. I always thought it was weird how far forward the rear wheels sit when sitting low.

Lot of work!

You did that to move the rear wheels back about 2 inches, right?

To move them back. Notice how the rear wheels weren't centered in the wheel well before, but now they are?

Looks great man. Nice work! I love this kind of attention to detail.

Well then, when the car is raised up then wouldn't that make the wheels

sit even farther back the other direction?

I'd like some pics of it raised.

Insane amount of work...!!!!

Do you feel any handling differences ..?

You will have to point that out to non-jbody guys...not a real noticable mod unless you know the car..!!

I like the look...well done..! Looks like you got hit by the crazy rain too..!

I don't see a difference, other than the rotors, but I need to same shot before and after. The beach shot is messing with my eyes.
