cant wait to put these on! the coilover adapters from HybridZ are either really slow going in development or its over. So I've been planning my own adapters. I just hope $200 covers all 4 corners like the ones from HybridZ were suppose to be.

You need to just take both pieces to a machine shop. This shouldnt cost you a lot. Let me know an estimate DIA of the shock thread. If you can find a thread pitch and size even better.

the coilover adapters from HybridZ are still on! so no more need to figure things out for myself. i've also decided to go with the rear Wilwood and separate parking brake caliper set up Arizona Z Car has. still looking around for a competitive price to have all the rust taken care of and interior and exterior painted on this car. any suggestions, let me know. 804 preferred but if its worth it, i'll tow it further. so far its between RESpec Garage, Baugh on West Broad, and Nftuatan (Affordable Auto Repair?) i think it is in the 757.

Duane is nearly in the 804, he's only an hour from Richmond at the most. He's like 45 mins from my house (toward Richmond) in VA Beach.

Havent been able to get a whole lot done in the past month. I've been working 6 day weeks up until last week, and today was my first saturday off in about two months. I've been quite busy. Also still waiting on coilover adapters. I dont have much else to do besides mount the fender flares, hood, and hatch. Cant really think of anything else I can do at the moment. I did get a new box and more tools though.
I'm also going to be ordering rear Wilwood brakes and a fiberglass dash soon.
