I remember his stuff was always praised, and i always jump on a good suspension mod whenever i can.

Nice pick-up sir. I looked at them myself, just did not have the present budget. Dammit.

i can't afford them either, really... Just had to make it work

The only real difference I can think of would be if there was a lack of clearance with the full size spring.

Any suggestions on a bearing for the fronts? I have hypercoil gen 2's and b15 CSKs in front

The bearings will depend on the mount you use. IIRC, the only plates that work with OE diameter springs are the Cuscos. I'm not sure what that interface looks like though. I've never had a set of those on the front. (My black car had modded cuscos in the rear)

Those are the ones he did for coilovers - 2.5" springs, not OEM springs. You guys need to get everything straight on the Shigspeeds. He did make front and rear OEM style mounts and he made front and rear coilover style mounts. He did more of the coilover style ones as the CSK/ground control setups he was building needed them.

Blair, do you have trouble keeping your mounts tight on the strut?
