Pennvalleydimer Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 This thing was 100% stock when i got it. I have done a complete rebuild of the suspension including some 510keeper coilovers. Complete build on the L16 with all ARP hardware and the biggest Comp-Cam I could get. Quote Link to comment
