Hopefully this place still exists!

Sally should be getting a mild tune this weekend, then we'll be going to the track on Sept 3 to see what she can do with just intake, header, exhaust, front mount and mild tune.

I'm pricing out suspension packages but I'm also wondering if I should
upgrade the back axel as well. Getting a bit squeaky.

How did the install go? Looking at doing mine but I am a little worried after hearing about all the issues with seized bolts.

How rusty is your car? If you don't get the bottom salt water blasted too much during the winter the bolts aren't that troublesome. Mine weren't any trouble at all when I did them.

E6000. You can get it at hobby lobby. Works better and is easier.

Install was easy but I live in south Florida and never see any snow. All came out easy. As far as the bushing goes I pressed out the rubber in the center with a sweet press set up at school. Then I places the bushing on top of the old one and it slid out like butter and the new one went in like butter.

in my area

Honestly, my brain was thinking one thing and my fingers were
typing something different. The suspension kit I want to do would
be the Konis all around, but debating between YYZ and the OTTP
springs.

This would also include looking into the sway bar for the back...
not "upgrading the axel".

i r stoopid

I had steel control arms because I'm base model so I ordered the arms with the bushings already installed.
