I'm in the process of revamping the entire suspension. I have all the control arms off getting cleaned and painted.
Suspension upgrades:
ESM spherical master set (aurora bearings in 3 sizes)
(4) ingalls upper adj ball joints
Megan lower RCA
Megan rear toe kit
Ballade rear lower ball joints
Karcepts front Adj sway bar kit(hard bushings w/spherical end links)
Energy suspension rear sway bar bushings
ESM spherical rear end links

finally have the diff installed w/ billet innovative race mounts.
I had to press out and bore the bushing sleeves. The oem diff mounts fit loosely on the oem diff bolts. The aftermarket diff mounts kits addressed this issue making the sleeve smaller, the IM diff kit just went with a larger bolt to fit the oem mount snug.

i finally have the control arms finished and the front knuckles are back on the car/w new bearings-hubs-studs.
I also had some kid in a Hyundai rear end my LBP. Lucky his parents insurance took care of the damage and i wasn't injured.
i picked it up from CCS in Matthews today, I'm very satisfied with the repairs.

I took the karcepts bar off the LBP and installed it on the v8s. i was concerned it wouldn't fit with the IM sway bar relocation kit and inner-outter tie rod end kit but it clears everything.

My Saner bar hit the new tie rod ends just barely at full lock. I've got the OEM sway bar back on the car right now but I'm considering re-checking clearance once the car is at final ride height and properly aligned. I'll be running 255 square so I'd really like that bigger sway bar still on the car.

Ya it wasn't fun, I was at a complete stop waiting for a car to pull into their driveway and the kid wasn't paying attention. I took the car to a friends garage and they finished it with all oem parts in about 10 days.
