Here is my friend Joe from Brooklyn known as GBodyShop@hotmail.com on the Monte List.... His website is... http://gbodyshop.50megs.com/ and he has TONS of Monte parts and knowledge of TPI and many other Monte related issue's.. Without him I would never have been able to pull this job off... Thanks Joe....

Look at this slacker... |

This is Joe after we had to go back into the springs to re-seat them. We put them in without knowing about those and bent a few over and I actually broke one off bending it back into shape. We got the re-seated in a couple of hours and all was good.... |

|
New and Old... |

Look at the height difference. I used Moog 5660's... Very nice springs.... |
