Looking good! What are those 17" or 18" ? What about suspension stock or modified?

17'' rims on 215 40 17 toyo prozes 4.
the suspension is stock. i had to replace all the rear track bars and the hydro shocks when i bought the car. it had sat for over a year and all the bushings had rotted. now I just finished changing the front tie rods and drag link. last part i hopefully need to change is the ball joints in front. Its a good thing ebay is around. the stealership would have cost me 3 times as much easily to replace everything.

The 190 16V use a simple hydraulic shock arrangement? is it easy getting to the rear top shock mount? any interior trunk trim crack on you?

does the rear diff mount need to be changed out?

Has all the suspension work you have done simply un-bolt and bolt new part on or have you needed special tools?

How is the engine? oil consumption?
Transmission synchromesh balking on quick shifts at all?

ya it is hydraulic shocks. shock mounts in trunk behind a plastic guard. nothing broke. its pretty simple the suspension. just unbolt and bolt new part back on. no problems whatsoever. engine runs great, normal oil consumption. transmission is unbelievably good.
