Default starting some suspension work

suspension work is not the easiest thing for me to do...
i'll admit that i've never actually done one by myself. though i've had a few labs on it in school. and im very sure that i have all the necessary tools to complete the job. so i'm gonna be posting some pics of the old stuff and how it looks afterwards including torque measurements for any of you that wanna know that kind of stuff.

also i have a copy of this year's Mitchel online database for any diagrams you may need. might take a bit of work for me to get the correct diagram but if you REALLY need it. don't hesitate to let me know... look for some pics later on today (tuesday). and i would really appreciate some feedback on the work im doing.

oh, well i threw together a set of coil over springs i got for 10 bucks at a junk yard, as it turns out they didnt quite work, however i did gain some valuable knowledge of how the suspension is put together and how to pull it down. so instead i just replaced the shocks and the struts and now they look pretty damn nice. rides alot better, though the springs need to be replaced. i'll get some pictures upon request
