    SRT Suspension swap New guy Here

    Hey guys I'm a new guy to Austin, I just bought a SRT suspension and was looking to see if anyone has done this in the Austin area and would like to lend a hand. I will be moving into a house in the next few weeks so that is when I'm thinking about doing this.


    Let me know if your interested. I will provide the Beer.

    Matt

    Hey Matt, welcome to the neighborhood! Yes, we have performed suspension swaps. Expect it to take about 6-8 hours. We have a couple of guys planning on doing it and we were talking about making a mod day of it, though nothing is on the schedule yet.

    Check out our photo gallery at the Capital City website for the Stones/Twin Peaks event.

    Be sure and join in on the email list at the website. Wednesday night is our monthly dinner social where we can talk about our next events. Come join us. Austin C2M2 Monthly 'Dinner Out' Aug 20th

    I think we could do it quicker if we tried a different approach.

    I can probalby help on the 12th starting around 12 noon. Do you have space where we can do this? We can probably get a few others to join in. Need any tools? Send and email to the C2M2 email list and see who else might be interested.

    Hey guys, I'm sorry to say that this weekend is not working out for me to help out with this.

    There is a better possiblity that I could on the 19th. Anyone up for that? If needed, Don Y offered his parking lot behind the hotel (183 @ i-35) for it. We could gather our canopy's for some shade.

    The 19th works better for me. BTW - the Rolling Sculptures car show is at the Hill Country Galleria on the 12th.

    I'd like to install my paddle shifters.

    The 19 works also for me, I just have to be done by 7 pm. So are we going to shoot for this ?

    I have some tools but my air compressor just died. Does anyone have one they can bring. IF not I will run to sears.


    Are we doing anyone else suspension or just mine.


    I also have the Pedders bumb stop that I want to put in.

    Let me know

    thanks again for everyone's willingness to help.

    Update I will probably be doing the swap out end of this week or the weekend. If any of you are around and want to lend a hand I will promise you will always have a beer in the other one.

    I am also planning on swap to R/T brakes too.


    Let me know
