New look...
Old look...
Me, I'm leaning towards the old. My wife voted the same way, but said drive it that way for a while...maybe it will grow on you.
Went for a little "settle the suspension" ride, still needs a few more miles but she's getting close.
Looking forward to getting insurance and plates back on old blacky, now that the weather has finally, supposedly, hopefully changed for the better. Two weekends ago, we got three inches of snow.
It is absolutely unbelieveable the difference the motor mounts made, seems so, so much smoother.
2016's driving season is just about to begin.
Well, after doing a quick measurement of the ride height...it was right where it was before (before new rear struts). 151mm front and 156mm rear, so the difference in ride must be the tires/rims. Yes, this is on the low side...but the car looks right (to me) there...so that's where I set it.
Anyhow, did a bunch of searching, reading, debating, deciding and thought I'd add 10mm front and rear. Just to see if this help free-up some of the suspension, and help absorb the harsher ride. Didn't make a bit of difference, but the extra height did come in handy...when my mom (82) got in the car to go see her sister at the nursing home. Even though the trip was only fifty some miles round-trip, my mom commented several times on the cars nice ride and being very comfortable.
When we got home, I told dad he may have to step up his game when he buys mom a new vehicle...since she was spoiled now...lol.
The car has picked right up where it left off last driving season, turn key operation. I've logged about three hundred miles over the last few drives, confidence is surely building with each mile.
