I bought a set off Mr.Sinister about 2 weeks ago and have been trying to install them with no luck. I disassembled the whole drivers rear suspension and have pressed most of the bushings out. Well after I installed the rear upper control arm bushings from the outside of the arm like it shows in the manual and tried to fit it into the car, it wont fit. Now the arm is too wide. I want to see if anyone else on here can give me a tip from experience or can at least pin point me to somebody who had these installed. Also if you know how to reach the developer(s) of this kit, that would be great info as well. This is my issue:

This is what the bushings look like along with the manual:

So today in the morning before going to work I decided to measure and see if the arm is bent and it was the same width as the one thats still on the car. So I took a big hammer and hit the arm where the ball joint is and it popped right in. It was just a really tight fit. I guess it was so tight that I couldn't push it in with my own force. Problem fixed :)
