So these showed up at my door this week, koni adjustable shocks for the back, and adjustable strut inserts for the front. There's also a set of kings lowered springs in the mix too.

Got into the rear end tonight, Installed the right side spring and shock, plus the whiteline swaybar, along with some nolathane swaybar linkages. I found out that I need TWO sets of nolathane swaybar linkage bushes, so I've ordered another one so I can finish the other side. I couldn't find a spring compressor, so I bought a packet of cable ties and found some bailing twine...

Well it did the job, though I put it outside when I finished and could hear the cable ties snapping for the next 30 minutes. As for the suspension in your acclaim I'd assume it would be the same, I've never looked under a sedan so I don't know to be honest.

So I got back from the tuners today after having the cam installed. Car drives like a stocker with a bit of an angry idle but it rips skids like there's no tomorrow!
