actually, i ordered the spacers from trdparts4u and got lc rear coils from muddertrucker99(thanks!). i am running after market jaycox shocks, but they arent suited for my lift. i have ome shocks for the lift on order. right now there almost fully extened. that is my 5 dollar version of the isr mod (intake silencer removal). had the piece laying around from an intake i built for my buddies acura integra. im very pleased with the difference in power it yielded

which spacers did you get could you send me the link?

yes they will rust and pretty fast! however i put heavy engine paint primer and on mine then painted them with black engine enamel then clear coated them to keep them from rusting. there rust free so far!

 

[Thurlo76]

the ones i put in i cut out of half in steal and stacked 3 plates up and tack welded them in place, i made an outline of them so i can make them again if i have to or i can make them and make some money off of them
but mine are way rusted "its only surface rust"

Was it a bunch of modding to fit the Lc's in the 2nd gen? and also on the 2g runner you have to use the rears off the Lc right?
