Suspension upgrade / Silverlight sealed beams
Guys, thx for all comments. I`ll share picts as soon as i can. IPD overload springs with Bilsteing Touring Shocks?..YES...it worked out fine, such a good match.
Very nicely balanced, no bullsh!t at all. Such a joy to drive now. Before this upgrade it behaved like cheap ship in stormy ocean...Wobbled, tilted a lot, shaked and rattled, did not roll nicely on bumps, ever. But now, Brick gained back its original height too, looking sexy. Tested on holiday camping, drove 270 to PA: Heavy loads+bad roads=NP! Car`s awesome; a dream thing it became on 4 new Bilstein Tourings &heavy duty springs. Both front sway bars installed earlier. Plus a few beers to celebrate.
Also i changed all 4 sealed beam lights to Silverlights. +front signal lenses new. A great new `face`, unbelievably stronger wide angle bright light. So much safer! Highly suggested. omg i was burning eyeballs on the way there nighttime...my own ones too... just by light reflecting back from roadside signs.
Found `Silverlight`sealed beams for $16. (2x H4656 and 2x H4651) ....Far away from `Standard`. The purple `XtraVision` is NOT as bright as Silverlight. Vintage wagon was hated a lot that night. Project continues
