Ok, still slacking on better strut pictures but I did get most of what I need to build rear lower control arms ordered today. Also going to get a few more sets of trailing arms welded up.

So I decided to just modify the OEM rear top mounts tonight and install the coilovers. To my surprise I only had two correctly sized gland nuts... two are the wrong size which meant I had to put the rears in due to already drilling the mounts out.

I definitely need to get some proper top mounts made but for now I think I can use another OEM set to space the strut further down into the wheel well. Right now there is no droop whatsoever. Also need to go from an 8" spring to a 7" to get the ride height up. I have spare 6" and 8" springs... no 7's.

The rear sway bar is off right now as well but new bushings should be at the dealer tomorrow morning. Getting the rear bar on will help evaluate how much rubbing I'm going to have to deal with. Right now the rear is "hella tucked". Progress none the less, even if it's not going perfect.

Any pictures of the Hardrace LCAs? How much did they end up costing you (I remember you posted it somewhere else a long time ago). I need some LCAs and finding better bushings is a royal PITA. Same questions regarding the adjustable rear lateral arms...

 

[low_psi]

They look just like the OEM arms except they have a Hardrace sticker. I got them from Jeff Owen @ Special Projects Motorsports.

The lateral arms, like the trailing arms I have made myself. I'll try to get a picture of the lateral arms up.

^Could you PM me his contact information? I'll need new LCAs before the end of the season due to some partially torn bushings on mine...

Thanks.
What is your assessment of how much stiffer the bushings are? Do you notice a difference in how the steering feels/reacts? Any other advantages I should know about?

BTW, I love all the custom work you did on those shocks; VERY nicely done

 

[low_psi]

The bushings are definitely stiffer but I changed a lot of stuff on the front end at the same time as the Hardrace arms so it's hard to pinpoint a noticeable difference to them in particular.
