I edited the caps out of the title. As for the rest of this thread? Epic fail.

I run 275/40/r17 rear, 255/40/r17 front Falken Azenis rt-615's. Slight rubbing on full lock, but that was cured by adjusting the bump stops. ;)

If I remember correctly, drjonez's was an Abflug replica, which he has since replaced with an OEM unit. I also have an Abflug replica, and an OEM unit en route from Aussieland. My Abflug piece has studs 'glassed to the back. drjonez's install: http://www.4cefed.com/groupa.html Pics of my...

drjonez is the man. He's helped me a LOT. His work is top notch, he's a stand-up guy, and his car is amazing. :)

^ I remember IJ. saying something like that. Two of mine were totally toasted, incredibly sloppy.:(

Yeah, drjonez pointed out that I could likely build what I need from hotrod catalog. I'm going to pick a few up, and see what I come up with. Yeah, that invoice total was around $820ish, but it included two rear upper a-arms/ball joints, which are about $325/each. ;) (I also get a decent...

Tim: Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing with those yet. I have brand new OEM units for them if I decide not to go with the nylon. This car doesn't see a huge amount of street time anyway, mainly some weekend nights. Doward: Thanks! Yesterday I ordered new bearings for the hubs. I...

Tim- Good info. I don't mind noise/vibration. The more I can feel the car, the better. ;) I'm quite anal about checking things over on the car before I drive it/after it's driven. With the amount of street time it'll see, I doubt using a Heim joint will be a problem.

Hey Doc, I know you plan on replacing all your stock bushings with the same nylons I have from Geoff. The only documented failure is in the #1 arm as we all know. I remember reading something that IJ. posted about not wanting poly (I assume he means the RK polys) in place of these- Click to...

Nicely done, sir. :) That's a really sweet project!

I've never been flamed there, but I've seen some pretty lame stuff go on. I'll stick to yotatech. ;)

Well then, it's time to pick up a couple hot rod mags. :) Thanks for the insight, Doc!

You don't notice any unusual wear from using an open Heim joint? I assume you DD your car... My concern is that grit will get in the joint, causing premature failure. :(

Interesting. Boris- I've seen several people's reviews stating that there was "too much thread" sticking out on the Heim joints, too much for comfort. I know you can get them to tuck further in by adjusting the eccentric bolts, but I just wanted to hear your first hand experience with that as...

Thanks. :) I didn't get anything done today. Perhaps tomorrow I will. I might just say screw it and go with all A1 suspension components in the rear, but I keep reading mixed reviews on them, so I'm not quite sure what to do yet... I don't like the idea of open Heim Joints for a street car...

Copper headgasket? I didn't read super-carefully, but I'd assume you o-ringed the block?

Ah, that's why I always wheel with a support vehicle- and only one goes into the sticky situations at a time! I hope you have extended front and rear differential breathers, otherwise it's time to change the gear oil in your diffs! I was planning to get the MC front bumper with the stinger...

Bumping this because I want more feedback on these.

Not when you have a tiny four banger and no gears to push bigger tires. ;)
