How's it going there? This sounds interesting!

After a small misstep of putting the A arms on the wrong side. And dropping the g load brace on my face cutting my eye, Things are going smooth. Turns out the tubular k member eliminates the g load brace and I cut my eye for nothing hahha

Currently I have reinstalled the k member, A arms, and steering rack. I pulled the spindles off the old control arms and about to install the bump steer kit. Looking for a picture to reference. The instructions are hard to visualize. At least for me.
I'm taking my time. Taking pics. I hope to have all or most of it buttoned up tonight.

So at the end of the day, I have gotten to the bump steer kit and put the sway bar end links on. I'm going to have to adjust all of it though... at least get it driving straight enough to get it to the alignment shop.

So what I have left is my struts with the coil over kit, calipers, tighten down the bolts. Slap the tires on and hope it don't fall apart

good! Happy 4th to you!

I am done with everything. Just dropped it off at the alignment shop to get them to straighten it out for me.

To recap, I removed the struts, coil springs, A arms, k member, and steering rack.
I put in a UPR k member, UPR A arms, remanufactured Steering rack. UPR coil overs and new struts, caster camber plates.

Made some mistakes along the way but I'm so glad I got this done. The accessibility of everything from under the car is NICE. I did a test drive and wow it rides awesome. It will be getting an alignment tomorrow. I will post pics soon.

Just got it back from the alignment shop.... it is better than I expected. The steering feels tight. There's no clunks or noises like I read about with coil overs.
I'm 100% happy with the upgrades and repairs.

I spoke a little soon. I get a pretty loud clunk on the passenger side when I turn tight like into a parking spot.
