you are almost there - well leaving the poster just above alone ....you will find an awesome difference. Rides super and handles great. Do the two hole bracket its better for sure but a bit of extra work. Here is what it looks like with a second hole drilled:

ahhh i see i can get away with not drilling a second hole but hell if im doing all this suspension work whats drilling two more holes lol

thanks for the info

any other comments or suggestions?

but im confused

crate engine depot sells on the 1 hole clamp for the FE5 bar

http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...P2550C188.aspx

you are saying 2 hole is better and i agree with that....where do i get those clamps?

Yeah, probably best to make sure Tom lists both clamps soon. I accidently got another set of one bolt ones, when I meant to get a set of two bolt ones.

this rele is starting to look like a better option

1. get FE5 control arms

2. get OTTP control arm bushings

3. get eibach front sway bar or FE5 sway bar

4. get powergrid sway bar end links

and in the future

5. get SS/TC struts and shocks with pedders springs and rack spacers

since i already have the TTR rear sway bar my suspension would be completely upgraded and i wouldn't have to worry about anything any more

if i just do stock its gunna be a PITA and im gonna have to do it again in another 6 months.....

when i order the powergrid endlinks from OTTP.....would i get the cobalt or cobalt SS option if i upgrade to FE5 control arms

if i dont upgrade obviously ill choose the cobalt option

and one more question if i do opt for the FE5 control arms i can use the FE5 ones that come on the SS/TC

crateenginedepot has both FE5 control arms, the ones that came on the SS/SC and the ones that are on the SS/TC

i can use either or right?

any opinions or answers are appreciated guys :-)
Don't the bushings come with the lower control arms?
I have a LT Sedan and someone recommended switching the lower control arms (FE1) with FE5 control arms. Is this OK to do?

Cool, I'm hoping it will make a difference. It had better since it will cost $600 with installation.
