I know, this is a bit weird, but i guess it snows here occasionally. We are at close to 4k feet in elevation in El Paso. Got out of work early and come into work late tomorrow. Sometimes being in the military is nice

No Z action today. But yesterday I wrapped up the Swift Springs, ichiba camber arms and wheel spacer (15mm & 20mm) that I started this weekend. The job is definetly a pain in the butt without an air impact. Looks pretty good and I like the ride of the Swifts on the short test drive I did. Will get some pics up soon. There is some problem with a low speed only suspension noise that I have not been able to identify. I will do a little searching on here and start a post in the suspension section if I do not find an answer.

Tighten the nut on the top hat now that the weight of the car is compressing the springs. Hold the strut with vice grips and use an open ended wrench to tighten the nut. I had similar issues because mine wasn't tight when I installed the spring over the strut. I thought it was tight at the time.
