Thank you so much. Last question, is there any benefit to replacing the sway bar endlinks? I figure since Il have everything apart I should just install them

yes there is a benefit to changing them it helps in a few ways...the biggest thing they do is keep your car from rolling over...but the more noticeable feeling is when turning or handling your car side to side it will feel loose and sloppy...for those you could just get them at advanced auto or autozone there much cheaper there you might have to replace them sooner in the future but if it were me i would just go to and auto parts store for that

as far as your tie rid i would get an adjustable steeda from americanmuscle i assume your car will be lowered in the future if it isnt already and to help combat bumpsteer if a lowered car you will want an adjustable one...any place that does allgnments should be able to adjust that for you

bumpsteer is where you hit a bump or grove in the road and the car will steer on it own in any direction because it has lost play in the tie rod from lowering

Thanks. Yeah the cars already lowered... I replaced the tie rod ends a few months ago and unfortunately didn't get the steeda adjustable. . Next couple things I want to do is replace the struts, at the same time get the steeda adjustable tierod ends, strut tower brace, aluminum drive shaft, new clutch, then the fun stuff - port the blower/supporting mods. Hopefully have it all done by the end of summer besides the port. Next Sunday the ball joints and sway bar links will be going in, I can't wait to get a track time after will post Wednesday or Friday when I go

something i seen missing from your little list there is caster chamber plates it corrects the caster and camber of your car since its lowered...means your wheels and tires are turned into the car meaning uneven wear on your tires...otherwise sounds like you have a good plan going man

also make sure that your intake will fit under your strut tower brace i know many ppl on here have had issues with jlt intake and making it fit under the brace...are you changing your flywheel too you prolly should and think about an illuminum one...not tryin to clutter you with info man just trying to help from all of our experiences on here
