I'm finally getting my whole car painted. I had the Seidl kit which was painted but not well so it started chipping from rocks. It looked like crapoodles. The best part is that i'm only trading one of my dirtbikes for the paintjob and $500. we are going all the way removing every trim, and all the windows. the paint will be like factory all the way to the edges. This and the fact that i squared away my IC cooling problem my car will be one of a few again.
And yes I am sticking with the Seidl kit still just because its so mechanical looking. and it lasted thus far. once i get it done i'll flood you guys with some pics of it all.

Fiberglassed pioneer touchscreen, suede panels all around. still missing the suede in the seats and finishing the trunk but its still nice. I just got a Phoenix Gold Ti900.7 to swap out my old clunkers. also have all Focal k2p speakers, and might remake the door pods to attach to my new door panels like i had before....or not as i already cut a set of panels and they are expensive to replace, even used.

 

What color? Factory Color?

 

yeah, keeping it silver and maybe some black on roof and such..... we'll see.

 

^ hey precision, sorry this off topic, but do you remember your adjustable control arms group buy?

do you know if the bushings go out on them? i'm getting a pretty loud squeek/creak when the driver's side rear spring compresses. could it be control arm related?

lol sorry for off topic, thanks~

 

most definitely have not. I have had no other problems mentioned to me from anyone else and i have these same joints on my car with no problems. The key is 100% proper installation. If the joints are not vertical to eachother then you will have the edges rub when the suspension moves up and down. but even with them rubbing with grease in there you wont hear the normal creaking you are experiencing. to me this sounds like the common sway bar bushing noise. If the noise is coming from the arms then it has to be from the joints not sitting in their natural position. the arm should have freedom to rotate about 20-30 degrees when seated properly.

 

if you need more help and you have a place to work and the "ability to work on the rear suspension" (i am serious about this as this is what the car sits on) call me and i can walk you through it. or get under there and snap some pics of both arms and both joints with the whole arm and up close on each joint. with the pics i can tell you exactly what is up
