    "Why buy new when slightly used will do?"

    Unmasked bolts are like unfolded side mirrors during proper winter storage mode.

    You should always mask your bolt

                    I've got a stance coilover/camber plate setup already welded up ready to bolt on. I also have a RX7 BBK that I could include.

                    Bad picture, but:

                      Do you know the spring rates?

                      I probably won't need the brake stuff as I've already ordered brakes/calipers

                        That's some serious cash coming from the guy who didn't want to buy a radiator fan relay. 😛 Keep up the good work!!

                                Got the new wheel bearings and hubs pressed into the trailing arms today.

                                Only things I'm waiting on is the skid plate & tierods (and the crap I haven't ordered yet)

                                Gonna hopefully convince myself to work on it tomorrow

                                  This was more of a pain in the ass than I'd like to admit, especially by myself a584a19006dc4e29a38df37fc78704bb.jpg

                                  8b2f588fbf5d13d4c25e3ab90cc5cea4.jpg

                                  Butttttt the rear sway bar is in. ST 19mm. Can't imagine doing that with all the subframe crap in the way

                                    I can confirm the lack of joy that takes place during sway bar installs. The flatter cornering is all worth it

                                      With the subframe in place installing the larger sway involves both wheels off and creative threading the bar in from the passenger side. It works but is a pain. Key is to figure out the proper orientation before you start threading it in. Much easier your way.

                                          sway bars suck third-ed and move to strike.

                                          glad you got a skid plate, they are 100% necessary for these swaps.
