I have my old one of these if you'd want it for cheap. I only replaced it because I'm very picky & one of the sides had some of the seal pulling away...LMK if you'd be interested.

Appreciate the offer, but this works fine.

Finally got some Megan Racing coilovers for my SL! Also replaced my cv axle with a brand new one from advance that ended up being thicker than my original? I didn't expect that. Super impressed with these coilovers so far though, huge improvement!

looks like the new axle doesn't taper down

install the coilovers yet? if so, how do you like them?

gutted rear precat.

metal shavings raining in my eyes and face for 3 hours straight. yay :cheers2:

Yeah it doesn't taper down at all, I'm guessing that would make it stronger? As far as the coilovers, I've thrown them through some tight corners, on ramps, taken them down some sub par roads, and I've had them up to about 140.. I'm really impressed with them, the car just feels amazingly stable. Oddly the biggest difference they made was that it's much easier to turn at low speeds now, I run no power steering with a manual converted steering rack and I can back out of my driveway with one hand now lol. I think my strut mounts were way overdue to be changed.

I don't understand this? I did it in about 50 minutes and that includes removing the down pipe .... Three holes in a triangle formation with a standard drill bit. Then used a flat style bit thingy and just used the holes as the entry point. ( that's what she said)

New Catch Can. -10an hose and two 3/4 I.D. inlet filters. Was an aluminum vac can, I converted it to catch can.

Making me regret not just going with coilovers already :(
But at least I saved a few hundred $ that will go towards power upgrades.
So maybe next time around I try coilovers.
