I have Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. I have all my parts in hand and ready. My garage/shop is Clean, tools organized and at the ready.
My plan is to swap k member, A arms, coil over kit, caster camber plates, bump steer kit (all UPR). Also while I have everything down, I'm going to replace my leaking steering rack, all associated (poly) bushings and tie rod ends.

I have had the k member down before when I did my headers. So I am at least familiar with the process. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas before I get this thing started.
I will be on jack stands. And a crawler. Woo hoo.

Going to attempt to start tonight after work. Going to get it off the ground and pull the wheels off. Get the parts laid out and be ready.
I put my coil over kit together last night on the new struts. my goal is to be driving this thing to work Monday. So I want to have it all together by saturday before the alignment shop closes

Double check header bolts while you're there and recheck every bolt you put in when done and a few hundred miles later. Also make sure the car cant roll, and everything safty wise is good. Good luck!

coffeebowl

right on man. yeah your cars handling is going to improve so much. glad to see you went with coilovers too instead of springs lol

coffeebowl

It has the stock rims on the car. once I get the suspension mods I want, I am going to get new rims and tires. I have not even looked into that yet. I know they are important, but my brain can only soak in so much info at one time and I am learning step by step.
Good call on the header bolts. I didn't even think about that. I put long tubes in about 6 months ago, and now that I'm pulling the k member off (again) I'm going to double check!
I will post pics when it's all done. I'm taking them as I go.

i gotacha man, when ever you get the chance you should look into the fr500 wheels. i had those on mine and loved them.

I will look them up now. I'm taking a break from my install.
So far everything is off the car. K member, A arms, coil springs, struts, steering rack etc.
Now I'm checking header bolts, spraying the crap out of everything with degreaser since my steering rack was kind enough to vomit ps fluid on everything. Going to get it as clean as possible.
Then I'm going to run a bunch of clean ps fluid through the lines. So I know that's cleaned out.
Then reassembly. I'm taking pics as I go.
