    Here's what i'll be running..... Revolution Racing Suspension Coil-over strut conversion kit and custom Aerospace Components brakes. These rotors are 11.5" in diameter, about 1.5" larger than my old front brakes.

    The current struts are Koni's but will be getting some double adjustable qa1's soon, i'm gonna try the Koni's and the qa1's.(y)

    Hate to sound stupid, but can you use those big red nuts round the shocks to raise and lower the vehicle so it rides evenly?

    What are they for?

    Yes, it's a "stock bodied" lower control arm........ some time back I installed the Global West spherical bearing kit and boxed them in. Also running stock strut rods w/ Calvert Racing strut rod bearings. I helped with the R&D on the strut rod bearings.
