    Suspension Refresh Help/Questions

    Doing a front refresh while I drop the car, I've found the Control Arms, Tie Rods, Brackets and Poly Bushings...purchasing through either Pelican or RME, do these kits come with the hardware as well or is this purchased separately? If purchased separately, where will I find the part #'s as nothing is listed?

    Next question, since I'm removing the springs on the rear is it a good time to replace the rear trailing arm bushings, rear subframe and diff bushings or can this be done at a later time?

    How important is adding the rear camber & toe correction kit?

    Car is being built for weekend drives and HPDE's with hopes of Spec racing later on down the road.

    Check rules first...but any of the stuff on the rear is WAY more difficult than the front stuff.

    For me, I can pull a control arm off my car in about 15 minutes, but a trailing arm takes me a good 1 1/2 hour.

    Closing SOON!
