Yeah, that is the next step, a compressor. It will be nice to drive the car, turn the A/C on and listen to some good music while driving. I guess I will start hitting the part stores for that little item.
As for the springs, I know that buying aftermarket springs are the best way to go, but I hated the look of all that air between the tire and the top of the fender. I knew that shortening a spring also makes it stiffer, but I just cut too much. Coil-overs with adjustable springs would be nice, but I thought I would try the cheap way first. It does look a lot better, but it does rub. Lowereing the center of gravity is a good thing if you want a car to handle better. I know you can run into clearance problems, but the car originally was so tall that I thought cutting a coil or two would help.
The front springs are such a pain to get to anyway, but after I did those I was going to attack the rear springs. I didn't mind the car being a little soft, but I really hated how the car rolls and is sluggish to recover when turning the wheel back and forth. I know that it is mostly a sway bar issue and hopefully larger is not too damn expensive, but I am sure it will be, front and back.
Hey it's raining, perfect time to take the car out for some tire spinning, snow is better though........lol.
Thanks
