    ill put money on it taking more than 2.5 hours.
    looks good. i was wondering when you'd get a real suspension.
    now for some wheels. i vote for 18x8.5 HRE c20's in brushed finish with polished lips. only $1,154 per wheel. man up.

        Ask Kristin, she was sitting at the shop reading a book the whole time. She will happily confirm. I'm fast, what can I say. Not needing to use a spring compressor helps alot. The rears fall out and you can just hold onto the front springs while you zap off the big nut.

        C20 is a great looking wheel, but way outside my budget.

              I knew you had issues.

              Looks good. How is the quality of the Ireland pieces? I've heard that is questionable. Although I use their springs.

                I was wondering if anyone else took it that way :)

                  I'm there for my enjoyment, not hers!

                  Quality of the IE parts is just fine. It uses the same Aurora spherical bearing as the GC plates do.

                    ever since I helped Dan with his set-up I've wanted to do the same.

                    I'm impressed with the 2.5 hr install time, but then again with a lift and many tools it should have been a breeze :D
                    Yea, it definitely took much longer to get this done for us. Wish we had a lift! Looks great Jordan, and I know how great it sticks around corners, I love it.

                      Maybe i'm a retard but it looks like you have no clearance up front, how the hell do you make sharp turns

                        Believe it or not I have no issues rubbing the fender, even sliding around a corner full opposite lock. Just isn't an issue with a stiff suspension and big swaybars.

                          Looks great! And yea, that install can easily be done in 2 hours or less, it's just a few bolts.

                          Question, if you'd be so kind: How do you get the front to clear when your wheel is tucking? Did you do any work to do that, or it just clears as is? How much camber are you running? I'd love to have that look, but I'm afraid to drop it so low cause it seems like I'd ruin my fenders. Am I good to go as is? Thanks.

                              My front fenders are both fully rolled, there really isn't anything for the tire to catch on at this point. I've yet to hear the front even rub on whats left of the lip. I'm not sure what the negative camber is at the moment, its not alot, but not a little either.

                              I will take some whole car shots today if I find the time.

                                2.5 Hours is well possible,
                                Especially if nothing is seized up like on old parts.

                                I´ll be running GC Camber plates as soon as possible
