Now I'm moving on to the front and it seems as though the BRAND NEW Scott Drake lower control arms are JUNK! I have a ton of play in the driver's side lower ball-joint and a good amount also in the passenger's. My $220/each Toyo tires are wearing on the outsides badly although I have aligned the front-end 3-times now.

I'm seriously thinking about going with tubular upper and lowers with coil-overs and ball-socket strut-rods. We'll see what happens, I'm pricing options today.

I'd think Scott Drake would have better quality control arms, but it's not the first time I've heard of defective Scott Drake parts. Sorry to hear you're having trouble with them!

Every Scott Drake part I've ever used was crap.

I just got back from the Goodguys show in Pleasanton, CA and I'm looking at a few other options. ...Anyone know anything about Ride Tech's front coilover setup?

SOT ...Street or Track setup. I Like it. (video/picture brightens up at about 30-seconds in) Totally worth watching...

Rear brakes are properly seated. Another great product from the guys at Wilwood!
