I haven't had much luck with vendors throughout this project. Don't they know I have a build thread to post on?

Well after no movement on the tracking, I got them to refund my money. A hollow victory because now I have my money, but I'm out 4 weeks of time. Thinking on just throwing money at a GC setup.......

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
