Ur prolly gonna get flamed up here for throwing sleeves on stock struts.

[Dobermann]

Nice! I have those on order too! Where did you order from?

And um... primer?

[Nurega]

Even new OEM shocks will blow with any drop. Good choice on the Ground Control coilovers, but those shocks will blow in due time. I highly recommend getting some Koni STR.T shocks instead, or Koni Yellows if price is no object. They have a lifetime guarantee, and are among the best available for our cars.

You bought new OEM shocks instead of buying shocks that could handle that drop?
Oops.

yeah i agree with him, they will blow up and youre going to spend more money redoing it. like everyone says in here do it once, do it right.
ohh and btw i paid about $200 for my STR.T shipped.

Good choice. It sounds like you have a general plan for restoring this car, keep it up
