raceland suspension

[korth]

tricky SOB's

[chad]

I ordered my set today, i went with the NA ones i was going to go with the NB for the stiffer spring rate but, Didnt really feel like chasing down the NB tophats...

[korth]

when you put the NB top hats into an NA do you replace the front and rear top hats or just the rears?

I just did the rears. I used then to get that little bit more travel in the shock. No real need to put them in the front.

just ordered raceland coilovers with the NB springs and NB tophats and bushings. i may need help with install when this all shows up.

the NA springs are on back order until July

I did my full suspension (new struts and swapping over springs/NB rear tophats) a couple weekends ago in about 2 hours for all 4 corners. Its pretty straightforward and you should have very little trouble.

The one thing I found that sped things up in the front is to just disconnect the front sway from the A-arm and the mounting bracket all together so the sway bar just hangs out of the way. Makes working around the A-arms a lot more tolerable. Just disconnect the side you are working on and then put it back on before moving to the other side.

thanks for the advise i dont think ill have any trouble just haven't messed with them before

Once you get into it, you'll find it's not difficult, just takes some effort. Lots of twisting into uncomfortable positions and pushing.
