[QUOTE="KJ-00-GT, post: 1509434, member: 28847"] Having the lift now will make the suspension install a lot easier. I started this last weekend, first attacked the rear lower control arms. I have given up on those for now, I can't get the bolts to push out, they are rusted into the bushing sleeves and the sleeves just rotate in the rubber. Not what I wanted but decided to keep going and install the rest of it and get back to the arms some other time or next spring. Installed the new shocks and adjustable springs in the rear. After lowering it back down to check ride height it sits a 1/4" lower then my wifes 1.5 inch lowered Mustang, I'm good with that and will see where it settles out to. Also found out the drivers side old shock was shot, the quad shocks seem to be bad also. [ATTACH type="full"]20522[/ATTACH] Then started on the drivers front, got that all apart this evening. Having trouble with the nut on top of the strut but resolve that tomorrow. When I pulled the spring out and set it aside I realized the bottom coil was broken off. So two problems I didn't know I had are going to be resolved with the upgrading the suspension. [ATTACH type="full"]20523[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
