Well ended up going with fortune auto coil overs. The 500 series. Ordered from AJ at endless, his prices were pretty good actually
After some talks with snap, I settled on 8k front, 12k rear. He did some maths and what not and reminded me about my upgraded sway bars and such. He also has experience driving a car with his hr setup and also johns car with the 10k/12k setup and he pushed me towards a happy medium
-
8k/10k you mean, right?
Yes i did mean that
-
Double checked my order to make sure haha. It is most certainly 8k/10k

Skid plate was very very close to the oil pan, I blame the chineseum core support. Made some spacers out of 1/8" flat stock to give some room between pan and plate
Then this
Now there's daylight (about a finger space)
Also noticed the steering linkage would bind a tad after putting everything back in so I filed the edge down barely.
Also did New VC gaskets and used some RTV to keep the oil where it belongs. "Reinstalled" my harness covers as well

Jackstands pads @ harbor freight.
Super nice to use. A tad squishy but very strong & don't hurt your car.
Think they are like $8 for two
Way more pics than necessary

+1 for hockey puck to avoid metal-metal with a jack under the diff or frame rails.
For jack stands Harbor Freight has those red covers that work OK on their 3/6 ton stands.

A couple of layers of duct tape is another option to avoid metal on metal contact.

For the jack itself I use folded up rags taped to it so it doesn't scuff

Rear subframe is in, brakes are on, studs are in, endlinks are very loosely attached, stuff is plugged in, etc. it's all there and on, just need to fine-tooth-comb it tomorrow (kinda drowsy right now)
Had to make some more side plate things out of flat stock because whoever put the last ones on absolutely destroyed them
I am also out of cereal

I rerouted the rear lines last night and got some other misc items done. Tonight I'll be installing the driveshaft and maybe a few other bits as I wait for coilovers
