overall, I'm impressed with the quality and attention to detail shown on this unit. I only hope it lasts.

ok so today I got really drunk and removed my front suspension, front upper & lower a-arms, front brakes, font sway, etc.

I'd like to replace the bushings as most of them are shot. what kind should I buy? also, as far as removing these *******, what's the best route to go?

also, ALL of the boots on the ball joints are split. I removed all them using my puller. where can I find replacements?

Unless you want to use a torch and make a huge goddamn mess that'll never clean up. Can't say it wasn't fun watching the arms pretty much $hit out the bushings though.
yup, saw that and I'll start on it tomorrow. thanks boo!

You need to quit going into rehab. Its really cutting into your car building. This car should have been on the track a month ago!

I cut mine and boxed it in with some 1/8" plate.
