Thumbs up for another 5sp sc!

 

i alos got a 93 5spd but pearl white had 147k when i got it, now doin a na-t build and put in a soarer r154

 

My 93 5sp is diamond white pearl :-)

 

Here are some new things I'll be putting on shortly
do the springs look they are progressive? I think they are and that's what I wanted

 

I think you will be quite happy with those.

 

My wheel gap fix.
purchased new isolators/boots to protect the new shocks. Banging sound gone, dampers don't make the air strut noise going over bumps so its a pretty good quiet ride.
Got suspension travel - height around 2 finger gaps, rocking the 15s
Alignment is "Lance Alignment".

 

Great work with those dampers/springs! Those springs look very slightly progressive, what are the spring rates?

 

"I hope to keep it mostly OE and not to lower it with big wheels!"
"Got suspension travel - height around 2 finger gaps, rocking the 15s"
"My wheel gap fix."

Nice Tokico reds! PM me for bigger wheels! J/K!! I know you said "mostly OE"
coming along nicely!

About the tranny shifting like a truck. look into synchromesh. works wonders.

 

Yes soon after I bought the car I realized the shocks were blown on the driver side completely and needed to be replaced anyway. The rear shock was completely gone.

I do not know the spring rates but guessing from other car's kits it might be around 380 (all around), a bit stiffer than stock but still comfy.
I was able to increase the damper until oscillations is gone and matched up the spring rate.

 

I wish I was 5 speed everyday, great pick up! can't wait for updates!!!
