I decided to spend my saturday installing my new sportline springs and D-spec struts that i ordered. A big thanks to Jason from A+performance for getting them to me so fast. I snapped a few pictures for you guys. I don't have many pictures during the installation because i didn't want to get the camera all greasy. but here ya go!
This is the result, I know this is a bad angle but its a small garage and it was raining out so its the best i got for now lol
Let me know what you guys think
^ that final result pic is terrible. boooo...

lol...
i'm sure we can use our imagination on what it looks like...
I am very interested in seeing a good side shot. I am running the same setup..
Handles like a dream doesn't it? Which front strut mounts are you using?

in the first pic my first reaction was damn thats a nice old Chevy in background, I want to see more pics.
then the next pic is the old car being used as bench for cavi parts
Lol i wasnt working on the chevy, I just wanted a nice flat surface to lay the parts on to take a picture. trust me i was real careful. Qwik2k2z24 I just reused the stock strut mounts. what mounts did you use? the diffrence between the 2 setups are like night and day . i will post a better side shot of the car tomorrow. Darkstars i can also post a few pics of the bel-air if you would like to see more of it.
I 2nd the request for Bel-Air pictures!
I am running 95-99 style front mounts. I highly suggest switching over to that style. Ive heard Dspecs can come loose using 00+ front mounts. Don't quote me on that though. Rears are the same for 95-05 so your golden there. Just a thought.

That's one heck of a before and after. Good decision for sure
i <3 indigo! nice ride man

The ride is excellent. It handles so much better than before, and i really like how you can adjust the dampening force. i would recommend this set-up to any one looking for a suspension upgrade. Does any one know how long it takes for everything to settle?
Good choice
Settle time is about a week or two, but dont count on it getting much lower.

Agreed, I prayed mine would settle and drop more. That didnt happen. Ride quality and handling makes up for the slight wheel gap.

Now looking back at the pictures, i can't believe that it looked like that lol. Now all i need is a set of new wheels
. Thanks for the comments guys.
Looking Good
Have two questions
1,What are these mounts you speak of heard 95-99 but are those stock ones or after market ones
2,What would the final price of something like this be
$600-800
about 800-900 dollars, depends where u buy from.
