My suspension is finally coming together!

After about a 7 months of driving around with blown stock shocks/struts and ground control coilovers, I finally have enough money to complete my suspension...

1. I ordered Koni Yellows from www.tornactive.com and it totalled out to -$564.10. (arriving June 1st)

2. Got a Ebay Front Upper Strut Used for -$20. (installed)

3. Ebay Rear Upper Strut Used -$20. (installed)

4. Ebay Rear Lower Tie Used -$10. (installed)

5. SPC Front Camber +$10 (Bought 2 Sets for $10 each off ebay and sold one for $30) (Waiting to be installed)

6. Ingalls Rear Camber Kit off ebay (Ingalls because they offer Rubber bushings because I didn't want squeeky poly bushings from SPC) -$89.40. (Being Shipped)

So I spent $693.50 total

Just thought I would share because i'm so happy that my suspension is finally coming together! Driving around on blown shocks sucks major a$$! SOOO embarassing bouncing around and bottoming out on every bump...



Now I need to save up for tires (all 4 of mine have crazy negative camber wear), and alignment and camber correction... fixing the civic is putting a big hole in my wallet!
