Thread: Bakerdd"s '99 GT: Project stance

Finally gonna get things back working again after some quick cutting and welding!

there ya go, sport.

What struts are these?

Theyre the struts from the airlift universal kits minus the brackets and stuff. Im just gonna cut off the old brackets and reweld them on these

Gotchya, be careful welding. You'll want to do spot welds like you would with body work so you don't heat up the struts to much and ruin them. That is if you didn't already think of it.

This makes me want to get back under my car to get it where I want, but chit keeps getting in the way.

Yeah I am a little concerned about the welding. Especially the top bracket. It was welded on pretty good and the bottom mounts are spot welded like you said. Hopefully everything goes well.

So these struts ended up being almost an inch longer than the other ones but they end up compressing to be lower that the old ones... So I'm going to really try and measure and figure out how to get more lows without going overboard and hopefully have something next week. I'm also still working on the trunk setup but I haven't really made any progress worth posting pictures of.

put the lower mount on higher. all you need is enough room for the CV boot to not make contact with the bottom of the strut body when you're driving around.

What Bio said. There like and extra .5" to .75" in that bracket.

I can't catch a break I swear. Some guy decided he was going to merge across 3 lanes to turn left. He hits my back quarter panel and I try to swerve out of the rest of traffic and end up running up a curb and hitting a sign. Of course the guy is nowhere to be found. I'm so frustrated. It could have been a lot worse though and i'm okay, just mad. The bumper and wheel will be fairly easy to fix but the rear is gonna need a body shop if I really want to straighten it out.

what the heeeellll duuuuudde....

I think it was you Bio that said I have the worst luck ever and I think you might be right

I went through a period of bad luck like this. Just keep truckin and something good is bound to happen.

But this makes me sad

Me too, but i'll keep truckin. I checked the underside of the car and everything seems okay there. I got lucky that the damage is mostly minor stuff.

NC is considering putting stop lights on the entrance ramps to the expressways.

Mayhem will be everywhere.

Oh god that would be a nightmare. This was actually on capital coming from downtown where theres a left ramp that goes to fairview. I hate hate hate capital but its about the only way to get to school without going way out of the way

Sometimes out of the way is with it

WOW guy that sucks terribly.

I feel as if you have the worst luck on here. that blows I had a guy almost hit me today I was freaking out so bad.

Again with the suckage... WTH? why? Stop driving.

Haha i wish. How about they make a special road just for me?? on another note, im making some decent progress on the struts. Pics later on
