Hey skittles.........joey

Skit, your car is looking pretty dope, still a long way to go...........but then I did tell you what I have planned for my car, so I think mine might be your competition for "longest showcar build" LOL, as for bags man, I would look at doing something custom, cause I have seen many saturn bags/struts that can't get the front suspension all the way down

Joey, long time no chat........yeah unfortunatly me and a bunch of fellow saturn owners in ontario here started our own local site www.our6thplanet.com we are trying to put on a show this summer in niagara falls...........keeping very busy. Actually a friend of mine is looking for a 2001 left front fender, colour doesn't matter.........drop me a pm or email with a amount for it, they don't feel like paying saturns $450 charge for one of them.

^^^Most likely a strut...

I've got a kit that's a strut/bag combo...I'm gonna work with that, unless it doesn't get as low as I want it to.

the bag slide over the strut . i got it from universial air. i had to modify my strut for the bag to sit down correctly.. it sits low i think that if i added fender flares it will look like the rear

how much lower do you have to go before the front is as low as the rear? can you modify the strut tower to get the extra inch? or maybe build a new upper bag perch to get it lower........

Just a idea, fortunatly I won't have that kind of problem when I go with bags, I will have a 4 link rear suspension, and dual A-arm front suspension
