What can i use to lift the rear of my merc?

[boXman]

You're gonna run sidepipes? Damn I gotta get off my ass and get a job or I'll never be the first one to do anything! :yuck:

Hey if anyone needs any coil spring isolators I ordered 2 from partsamerica with my cc819's and instead of two isolators they sent me two cases of them!! So if anybody need any just shoot me a PM.

[Archangel]

Ah, the Patriot sidepipes - a sweet thing that may be beaten up way too fast. Why - only the pipes are 3" in diameter, add the shields and you get 4 or more! The new wagon springs will take care of the clearance at the rear axle, but the front will still be flying like 4" above the ground - if you live in Florida and you don't drive your car over railroad tracks too often that will be more than plenty, but otherwise you may wanna consider stiffening the front suspension too

Two cases???

How many is that? I will probably need a set or two

Oh yeah, those sidepipes will look 100% badass! Keep up the good work!

I think there's a total of 20 isolators. PM me your mailing address and I'll send you 4 in the mail. I'm keeping four of them that should last me a while. So I've got 16 extras.

haha the sidepipes won't be for a little while yet, so if you hurry you can be the first, lol. As hard as i try i can never leave a car alone its in my blood to modify it, i got my first car when i was 15, it was an 89 geo spectrum and yes i fixed that car up too, little 4 banger 5 speed was fun as hell, then i got a grey cavalier z24 it was an 88, couldn't leave that alone either, ended up painting it, rims, exhaust, spoiler, stereo... the works, now i have the merc and a 90 cavalier z24 i just can't stop! when my dad gave me this car i was just gonna use it to put around in till it died, at the time it wasn't running right i found this site...... then i realized (with the help of you guys and this site) with a few adjustments (timing, better injectors, air intake) it started running really good and can light up the tires fiarly easily, my dad drove it after the few mods and he said it had more power than when he first got it! this car has got so much potential its crazy, everytime i look in summit magazines or any sites i just wanna rack up my credit cards and have christmas all year round, lol. i could just go all out and buy everything i listed before but i don't like owing a lot to credit cards, i'm fairly young (21) and my interest rates are high still so i gotta do it slowly! as soon as there isn't a day where my nuts shrivel as soon as i walk out the door i'll clean the car up and take pics and do some photoshops of the merc! lastly i want to thank everyone on here thats helped me out so far, i've never worked on a car like this before and with your help i was able to bring her back to life! thanks again!
