It didn't work on my car with well-lubed poly bushings, but it was close. Probably depends on things like shock length, offset upper arm bushings, NA vs NB, etc.
Lower balljoint is easy, though. The three bolts on the shocks, one bolt on the end link, two bolts holding the "tongue" to the lower arm.

delrin bushings don't really need grease, it's polyurethane ones that need lubing. Alas, you can't really lube the polys properly unless you take them out (even with zerk fittings the grease won't go in all the places it needs to go) and delrins are unsuitable for the alignment bolt positions.

^I have the poly bushings for the eccentric bolt locations.
Update! Just ordered Trackspeed 16 row oil cooler kit, and the coolant reroute plugs. I'll try to install the plug when I drain the coolant for the intercooler install.
Does anyone know if the oil cooler kit is all inclusive? Like do I need to buy anything else to install it correctly? Thanks

Ok, I have the tools, I think I could mount the cooler onto the rotrex oil cooler bracket, located in the air ducting behind the driver's fog light.
Or at least mount some tabs to the bracket.
COOOOOOOOOOOOL. just got a text from Jason Owenby, of JO Motorsports...
I shipped him my trans, along with the Miata Roadster angled shifter kit, as installed...
He says there seems to be a bushing missing, and EVERY SHIFT FORK is damaged because of it... He recommends the stock shifter.
I'm really glad I upgrade my car. Also really glad that I threw out the stock shifter setup.

There isn't a bushing in the shifter that would cause a damaged shift fork. The only bushing there is the one on the end of the ball.
I think I have a stock shifter laying around. Trade you for the short shifter
