Default C/A install was a bich

first time ever intalling control arms or anything like that on car. took me 4 and a half hours. haha.. it was a good learning experience but pretty frustrating. we had to push and pull on the axel to get stuff to line back up. im not sure if that is how it was for other but it was pretty damn hard. It sucked because it was raining so we could not really go test them so we went and found a parking lot to reward ourself's with some cookies. haha.

Full length welded SFC's make all the difference in the world. They should be everyone's first suspension mod.

I have better traction with SFC's and FI than I had previously when stock. If someone would have told me I would have better traction with 150 more rwhp I wouldn't have believed them. I'm getting ready to do the rest of the suspension this spring (springs, shocks/struts, panhard bar, LCA's, etc.) and I'm hoping to be amazed as much, if not more, than I was with SFC's.
