If anyone protested an aftermarket tct they deserve to have their chain snap

I replaced both lower control arms and both caster bolts and one new camber bolt that I broke.


I wanted to give a big shot out to A Solutions Auto
for having the lower control arms and caster bolts in stock, If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have car ready for the learning in joilet.

Those seized caster adjustment sleeves are a doozy. Looks like you're doing things right. Keep up the good work.

Nice! What size swaybar did you end up with? I'm curious where people are ending up in the adjustment range. My setup is a bit different (245/255 RE71's) but I'm on a .188 bar. I have been trying to find where I like the swaybar to be adjusted and think I'm getting there. The AP2 has never felt as "lively" as my AP1 but is starting to get there. After a test and tune this weekend with 40+ runs, I ended up going to the softest setting of the swaybar and got some of my rotation back. I'd be curious what it would feel like if it were softer but I'm out of room to move. I do think I was overdriving the car a bit by the end of the day but I am feeling a bit of a push on corner exit still.

I was closer to the middle of the adjustment range on the bar with my AP1. I do know that the 06-07 cars are the softest sprung and definitely feel more roll from the rear of the car than my AP1. Going looser has made it a lot more fun again and may be soft enough but I'm curious what others with a similar setup are finding in terms of settings.

Thank you! I finally installed my sway bar with the .188 bar. I set my sway bar to the softest setting right now and so far I haven’t been able push the car super hard. I did take here out today on some nice twisty roads. It felt bit more planted. I will be taking here out to a test and tune soon so I can dial it in.
