I've lusted after them for months. I finally bought and installed a set. As you can see above, it went well. Read on for the full install. ]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/07/moderately-slammed/feed/ 4 http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/04/suspension-install-sorta/ http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/04/suspension-install-sorta/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:07:51 +0000 revlimiter http://revlimiter.net/blog/?p=128 Yes, I say “sorta.” Because I didn’t take many photos. Because I punched myself in the face with a crowbar. . . . . . So there I was, all done with the front suspension and the front chin spoiler install, when it was time to turn my attention to the rear.

The final part of the TEIN rebuild tale. Part 1 and part 2 can be seen on their respective links. The UPS tracking showed that I’d come home to find my TEINs waiting for me tonight. It was not wrong. There was a happy box on my doorstep with a familiar logo.

Click that link if you don’t. I received notification from TEIN today that my shock rebuild is finished! The total was $524 before shipping. That’s a good $15 cheaper than their low estimate and shipping with paypal was $1 more than their high estimate. I’m happy with that.

The shocks have something like 60,000 miles on them. I’m the 2nd owner. The first owner was my buddy Tom, who used them on his 99 for about a year. They were [...]]]> http://revlimiter.net/blog/2009/03/tein-shock-rebuild/feed/ 0
