I got it fixed tonight. It was an injector issue. It is very suprising. This is the third injector that has had to be replaced in the past 4 months. I dont know if it is an issue of debris in the gas or what.

What height springs are those? They look really short. I might have to work a little harder because I have 7" springs.

I bought the kind made for s13. 5 or 6. you may have to mount the sleeve on the collar that the hub mounts to. Like this> or you can use clamps that'll hold the perch kinda like what T3 uses for the ae86 rear coilovers. even cheaper is using 2 exhaust clamps per shock to hold the perch. This is from the 510

I'll probably put the perch sleeve on the hub mounts like the picture above if it is not too much work. Any pics of the your vert lowered?

Once you lower is you have about 2" of travel

That is not very much but if the springs are stiff enough it should be fine.

sounds like you've almost replaced everything to have a new engine ^^ I still dont expect the engine to last that long. I hope it does but I dont expect it to. I'm at 226k right now. Anything over 200k is a time-bomb. Unless you are going to put new rods & rod bearings & main bearings in. The timing chain is due for a change also. If you are going to go to that much trouble you might as well do a complete overhaul and I dont see much use in putting $500+ in one of these.

It turns out I also had a bad vacuum leak on the fuel system. I managed to get that fixed tonight along with my 16" electric fan & thermostat. Night before last I got a new stereo receiver installed. Tomorrow night its back to body work. That gave me a little time to let the blisters on my hands heal. Doing everything by hand on a car that had that much body damage sucks!!
