    What are these parts?

    Rear trailing arm reinforcements and dual caliper brackets.

      Hows the quality of the srs stuff? I've been tempted by a few things they offer 

      Not too shabby actually. The two pieces that go together to brace the arms and make it an A shape need just a hair of filing so that they slide together nice. I'm sure I could probably take a BFH and get the together as it is though. I'll take pics tomorrow of how they fit up to the trailing arms.

              Do a burnout.

              Also, I have a moderately over-built subframe bushing puller if you're in the mood for a little mission creep. I can also provide pointers on RTAB removal if you feel your trailing arms aren't sufficiently bent.

                                  I definitely will haha. The cool thing is after selling bits off of this car, and totaling the Del Sol, I have zero money into the chassis. That means I can total it into a wall and only be upset that I hurt the MHW's lol. I am really excited to have to learn car control without having excess power to use as a crutch.

                                    The car is registered, insured, and roadworthy. I drove it to work today with zero issues. Pictures will come from this weekend. I made a promise to a friend that I wouldn't share any potato pictures on the internet haha

                                          With the alignment it is pretty darty but it drives really nice. I need to get adjustable end links so I can connect the front swaybar too, since it seems the ones from BC are even too short to use at the height they set the coils at when shipping😐 

                                          The exhaust is stupid loud (muffler delete with a cherry bomb to eliminate a little buzz) and it really resonates inside of the cabin with the sound deadening removed. Not to mention I don't have the radio code and also don't have the 5 sided tool to remove the radio and give the serial number to the dealer=( For some reason they don't have it logged under the VIN number...
