Well I have finally got some more done on the suspension.
The front x-mem is finished except for putting it back in the car.

I also got started on the rear cradle.

Looking good. Thinking about doing poly all around myself but I've heard that creates a pretty rough ride. I'm sure your helper is more help than mine. Just put Kitty's new house up last night and he's already shredded two of the toys on it. Plus he just runs from loud noises. lol

It has all kinds of parameters listed on it. I have a Qms (2.64), a Qes (0.98) and a Qts (0.71). Which is the parameter I need?


Its not quite so simple. The size of the "box" is dependent on the type of enclosure you want. Sealed enclosure is the most forgiving, but depending on the speaker my require the largest enclosure. In short, there is no such thing as "one size fits all" when it comes to audio speaker enclosures. Only advice is to do lots of research on the net, JL Audio used to have alot of very good information on the subject: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/support_pages.php?page_id=141 I would suggest starting there.

I have a question on the struts for an 88. Do I need the wing on the strut ( circled in red)? I know I need the base for the spring to sit on but how much of the rest of the wing do I need?

Good question. But I've only worked on the struts for the earlier models. I won't have to deal with that for my Ferrario though. It's getting coil overs in the back. My guess from looking at it though would be no. You don't need all of that material. I'm probably wrong though. Give me a little bit, I have to take one of the rears off of the donor car to get a tire repaired. I'll take a look at things and see what it looks like with the spring still on it. It may just be an aftermarket one-size-fits-all kind of thing.

I'll do coil over next winter.

Well I got the wings cut off (successful amputation) and alot of the rear suspension finished. Brakes and things will be tomorrow. Sorry I didn't get any pix today, tomorrow I get some posted.

Sorry I didn't get back to you. Never ended up looking at the car yesterday. Ended up working the rest of the day instead. Sound like you got an answer though.
