alright folks, haven't really updated this in a While because haven't done much to the SC lately.
Last thing i did was replace both my front LCA, and rear toe links. My undercarriage suspension parts were so f'ing rusted/seized from that good old N.Y. winter salt, that i actually had to BLOW TORCH OFF
my front LCA and rear traction rods. I still need to replace my rear LCA (which i haven't gotten around to doing...yet, *sigh*).
I did install some new Battle Version rear toe links(retarded me, i forgot to take pics, doh!) and also replaced/painted the front LCA (no pics again).
I did however take a pic of the rear LCA i'm gonna be swapping my old rusted/beat-up ones for. This is how each came out after extensive sanding/prepping then high-temp paint/clear. Plan to upgrade the bushings before i install these too..
^painted the front LCA just like this too (will add pics of those later).
Finally picked up some '97 tails for my '92, but still ignoring the hyperblink, lol..
Also, my cousin picked up a real clean red 5-speed over the weekend.

. thats exactly why i started to replace my suspension components; the alignment shop told me the eccentric camber bolts were fused/rusted to the control arms and i should replace the whole arms. so i've been replacing various arms here and there. its a pita replacing undercarriage parts that have been affected by salt, i swear. I know it will pay off in the end tho.thnx man. At first I never planned to change the tail lights, but after i finally saw the 97+ in person on someone else's '99 SC, they looked so clean i had to have them.
