    NO more 4x4

    I just finished my suspension update. I still have to get better pics, but it has been raining today and the car is filthy. Anyway, Parts list as follows:

    H&R Cup kit
    AKG Trailing arm bushings
    AKG Offset control arm bushings
    AKG Diff mount
    IE Subframe bushings
    New control arms
    New Tie rods
    New wheel bearings frt & rr
    New 17" Wheels
    New Nexen N3000 tires

    Only a few problems with the install, I had an Axle nut ceased on. Took me a better part of two hours to get it off. Even tried a shop impact capable of removing Semi wheel nuts (500ftlbs), and it would not budge. Ended up melting the nut away little by little then cleaning the axle threads. And I punctured my fuel fill hose ( Stupid me, should have removed it before I tried to get the trailing arms off).

        Wow it looks really nice. I am suprised you did all of that with no lift. Were the bushings hard to install?

            Woot is right - your car is crazy...crazy weird? crazy sexy?

            Crazy different - yep - that's foo-shure.

                Thanks guys! I will have new pics this weekend if the weather is as nice as they say. Hopefully no more snow this year.:p

                Motorsports-3 The bushings weren't hard at all to install. I had to torch the old ones out though.

                Bimmer_E30 I'm down for a trip to the chuck to give you a hand.

                z50-Jumper Thanks for tho hosting. I was in a rush when I got home. One day I will learn. lol

                  Sweet set up.

                  I need to do most of what you did. Looks good though.

                  Anymore pictures of the spoiler you have on the back?

                              No stainless steel brakelines It would have been the perfect time to install them. Other then that its good to see that you took care of everything at once.
