I don't think they are supposed to look like that.

KMO43

Haha well I know but they didn't break and I'm not taking them in to get professionally checked. They look a couple mm bent

He was pretty much doing everything on stock suspension if i remember correctly

KMO43

My traction wasn't that bad

I was running springs and NT01s

KMO43

I'll be taking my engine in to the machine shop sat to get it all checked out then I can throw her all together finally

How much did you like the nt01's? What size?

KMO43

235s I liked them wanna see how they do with some suspension upgrades behind it

7.5 rims?
Would like to go 245 but that may be overkill on a 8"rim. I've heard they hook really well and don't last long.

KMO43

Ya stock LNF 7.5in wheels 235/40r18 the 235s look great on them. If you go NT01s be prepared to buy at least 2 a year

I only drive mine about 5k a year so I figured they would last about a year. Are you sticking with them on the new setup?

KMO43

I will be using another set of R compounds don't know exactly which NT01s are expensive here

KMO43

I cleaned up some stuff to make it pretty again





Cleaned up the arms and took out all the bushings. I knocked the T cabs out with a hammer and cut the spherical cabs out



Cleaned the arm out with my die grinder and a 60 grit roll then tapped in with the same hammer I knocked it out with



After a couple taps with a hammer my cab fell apart



More to come this weekend

Snail_SS

iTrader: (3)

Haha you really needed to update your suspension man

KMO43

No it was good. Just had a small tick

KMO43

I'm at the machine shop right now waiting for them to open so I can get my engine check and possibly balanced

KMO43

Engine dropped off this thing is gonna be such a nice unit when it's all together!!

KMO43

Finished painting my trim



This stuff works great to take off sticker residue

KMO43

Thanks to Colodude for hooking me up with my balancer! I had to fight with UPS about the brokerage on it but eventually got my way so I finally picked it up
