    ^Johns came out with minimal struggle from what I recall. The one on the compact was cake too=P Just get a large 2x4 and put it between the car and subframe

    Then step on it to slowly work it off

      You are about to find out that even with all subframe hardware removed the dang thing is stuck to the car by means of black magic.Having it fall out and hit you in the face would be preferable to some of the profanities you are about to invent while attempting to remove it

      Mine almost fell out on me - didn't take hardly any effort to remove.

      Helped Josh drop his though and it didn't wanna come out. He ended up leaving stands just barely under it and letting the weight hang overnight, then used some force to remove.

        Now gonna remove rear sway and get everything cleaned up underneath the car and put some undercoating on the whole bottom. Will most likely por-15 the subframes & trailing arms.

              I think so, but not 100% sure. I know you get it next day when you order it. Also can get it in different colors. It's like Franks red hot, I put that shit on everything!

                  I usually spray everything down with a nice salt water solution to help build immunity in the metals just like you would give a flu shot to a person.  It works wonders!

                          Is it a hammered finish? Or smooth depending on the surface? And did you brush it or spray it on?

                            You can brush it or spray it on. I brush it on and its a smooth finish depending on surface. It self levels

                                Self levels against gravity?

                                        Hopefully getting out today to take the rest of the brake lines in the rear out as well as the rear sway bar. Bought some face shields so I can clean the entire bottom of the car and then re-undercoat it. The kbs/por-15 will be for the subframes/trailing arms/suspension crap
