my 929 shocks were replaced with monroe's and the mounts appear to still be stock if that helps.

uhh yea, there was a post that asked the same **** question less than 1 month ago...

I have done the same years back and now realize what a waste of money the Monroes were when I could have fitted RX7 coilovers for slightly more money...

I'll be going coilovers.

I havent even looked at the suspension setup.

Could blocks be added to the bottom of the strut? between the spindle and the control arm.

This would help reduce bump steer on a lowered 929.

I have a mazda mx6( ford probe), a mazda rx3(rx808 wagon), and a nisan skyline(r32) for my on street performance needs. My hc 929 is only a daily beater driver. These cars are only vip cars. Im only going to do basic mods to achieve this style, not for performance. Your got to be kidding yourself to think their performance cars.

They're as much of a "performance" car if not more than a Probe/MX6. Im not hating on your ride but a 13B HC can be as quick as a Skyline. Ill be looking forward to you slamming the HC then to achieve "VIP" style...
