Front Suspension Upgrade

My '86NT had a "decent" front suspension under it, but, since I've got the car up in the air, and, I'm turning every bolt on it anyway, I may as well re-do the front suspension, too.

My old stuff = Eibach progressive rate springs and Tokico Blue strut cartridges..


I kept the old strut assemblies from my 84T parts car. Wasn't thinking of using them when I tossed them in the pile, but, I'm glad I kept them. (Remember this point if you ever get ridiculed for keeping "too much junk laying around".


Wow! Look at the difference between the OEM and the Suspension Technique.


A little cleaning, painting, new springs, Tokica Illuminas, bump stops, and dust boots make it all look new again.


Adjustable, too.


And back on the car. After the fender and wheel assembly are re-attached, no one will be able to see it.

I already was using the big fat Koni/Nismo anti-sway bar, and all of bushing have been converted to Poly. She'll probably ride like a "hard-tail" with no suspension.
