          It's okay sir. I shall now retire my shovel for further axle nut discussions.

          Seriously, whoever doesn't have Mr. Kaiser on snapchat is/was missing out. His series of "tech tips" was causing me to have uncontrollable laughter last night.

                        Subframe needed some persuasion

                        Steering rack needed a tad of persuasion too. E36 rack/tierods

                          Tomorrow I'll be taking the rear most subframe bolts out again so I can get the ST sway bar on. Also going to try and get the control arms on

                            Sway bar is mounted and torqued

                            9df976faa93e53d721499e1cca9ad32c.jpg

                            Got the control arm offset bushings on (pain in the ass because of the taper)

                            e388fb4ee4ab5f96a231ef315868bf00.jpg

                            I'll most likely pop those in tomorrow. After they are in I'll be dropping the engine back onto the subframe so I can get the support bar out of the way. Then it'll be on to the rear subframe

                            For anyone who was curious about the ST sway bar hardware here's a picture. Way beefier Than the oem stuff. Washer has a gap due to this shit being 28 years old

                            e93acea0ce36ee65df5230865f2f8922.jpg

                            Also does anyone have any use for these rear trailing arm sway bar mount reinforcements (and bushing brackets)?? I already had these reinforcements.

                                  are you going to do 6 or more track days every year? adjustable coilovers.

                                  if not, just pick a tried and true setup and roll with it.  I'd say Koni/IE3 or Koni/H&R is failproof.

                                      Intentions are to get into some more auto x events. Car will be DD'd in the summer on occasion but I'm not relying on it as my only mode of transportation.

                                      Only reason I was after adjustability is I can choose my spring rates and adjust the front end of the car for height

                                      Adjustability sounds very nice at this point
