so a while back I sold my buddy my old D30, because I got another one free with my 8.8
both had 4.10's and he needed one, so it gave me a reason to build up the free one.
I put on some coil/control arm mounts from ballistic fab, and added some shock mounts on the side. Didn't think of it at the time, but these mounts move the control mounting point a bit, and the coils about 2" higher than stock.
the mounting of the coils is also about 1" or so further back on the axle, but since the lower control arms mount a bit further back too, I end up with the axle sitting about 1" forward of stock.
here's Ruff Stuff offset trac bar mount on, its also up against the coil mount for bracing on the pass side.
and here's some angles from the front
my plan is to order the blue torch fabs cross over steering piece and go all heims for the steering. that should allow me to get the angles matching a bit better.
other than that, there just a few odds and ends that need to be covered off before I can get it back on the road.
its been off the road since October when I got a Golf, so it will be nice to get out for some wheeling again. Especially since I put the stiffernZ on from TNT and their Ylink on aswell.
this first drive should be very different than the last.
