sway away also know as "SAW" or "SAWS" is a brand.. so SAW or sway away torsion bars are stiffer which means your can loosen them to lower your truck and keep a good ride quality.. they specialize in coil overs and rear shocks.

 

oh ok...just a larger diameter torsion bar...i have seen these? are they a larger improvement over stock? a stiffer ride than stock units?

 

yeah they are truely made for offroad applications with larger tires, like adding a stiffer shock or spring in the front... it would stiffen a stock ride i beleive. and we use them because we can loosen them up to lower our trucks and get a good ride... by the way theres a set brand new on craigslist in my area for 150 bucks right now

 

you guys need to see this truck in person........ not to mention all the molding and shave work that was involved...... ill see if i cant sneak a few shots of the rear rollpan and setup for you guys. this truck came out wicked....... just wicked.

for those wondering, the wheels on his truck are all 16x8 Mitsubishi Starion wheels, -11 offset, wrapped with 195/45 tires.

gonna try and help him out here soon with the torsion bar install. seems he got into a set of sway a way torsions he wants to go lower with.

 

...goddamn man... this is my new fav mini!

 

wish you guys could see it in person..its soo nice..

@Gil: still looking for a place to rebuild my trans..but its back on the road..its just not at 100%

 

if yer looking within the next month or so....... i may have a 5 speed up for grabs...... rebuilt with about 15000 miles on it.......

 

WOW!! Truck looks killer!!

 

looks pretty pimp dude. love the drop and wheel set up. old school wheels never fail.

 

so i did some suspension work on Gil's truck yesterday and figured id take some better shots to rep his truck on here............ enjoy.

might i vote to have this thread moved to the build section for 89-94 by any mod??

 

Looks Good! two questions, What kind of lug nuts did you have to get for those and where did you get those rear mud guards? they look pretty good!

 

Wow that is super clean. What are those rear mud guards from. never seen those before. Looks the backside of that truck alot.

 

that whip is dumped, sits perfect, I really like those starions,

 

i think the mud guards came from a mid or so 90's celica.......... not sure..... but they molded perfectly to the truck......... stock lug nuts will fit the wheels....... nothing special.

 

Same front set up in front i was going to go for. One of the cleanest setting trucks i seen. Love the taillights. they blend in great with the truck. Whats next for this truck. If anything

 

Still gotta get notch done by beefedtaco. And I have turbo setup waiting to be installed!

 

Nice man. Where you stand right now. How low

 

did you shave the plastic trim in front of the rear wheels?


and man i might have to steal the mud flap idea from ya...

 

Yes I did!! Removed the plastic piece but then noticed after driving truck for a couples days rock chips started showing up there so I had to get some clear shield film and protect that area.. The original idea of the mud flaps were from MacRIb!!! Thanks bro!!

 

Not really sure.. Let me ask SD YOTA! He's been doing my suspension work lately..
