[QUOTE="Mustang5L5, post: 1533166, member: 30520"] It's been about a week. I still haven't torqued the front control arms yet. Working on the rear brakes as we speak and then i'll do a few short test drives again and then park it and torque the control arms. I just have them snugged up but loose enough for the sleeves to still pivot so they are not adding to spring rate...yet. I wouldn't mind if the front came down another 1/4". Wasn't trying to slam the car, so i'm fine with the subtle drop. The stock 4x4 look was just terrible. I found someone did a brake job on the rear of this car and didn't spin the rear pistons so the notches were at 12 and 6 o-clock. Because of this, the inner pad sat cocked and didn't make full contact with the rotor. Brakes always felt soft/weird, so happy I found this. Also taking the time to paint up the caliiper and rotor and clean up other parts here. Waiting on new pads in the main because these were angled due to the improper installation. [/QUOTE]
