Having to go back to work sucks, but I've made a lot of progress in the little time I've had since my vacation time ran out. IRS is finished except for torquing the half shaft nuts down, filling the diff with fluid, and tightening the jam nuts now that the end links were set to eliminate preload at ride height. Forgot to take a picture of the MM upper shock mounts, but I'll snap one tomorrow. Driveshaft is back in, pads/calipers are on and ebrake is hooked up, and the brakes are bled with no leaks to far. Also got the short shifter in and the interior put back together more or less. Going to throw the trunk stuff back in as well as the back seat tomorrow and scale it to see what the final weight difference was before I pull that back out for some more weight reduction. Also decided to modify the stock strut tower brace while I've got it here so it'll clear the MM caster/camber plates. Then it'll be alignment time and it'll be ready for it's maiden voyage with the new suspension. Anybody wanna buy a SRA? :tongue3: Pics:
Fitting I needed to adapt the factory brake line to metric bubble flare:
Adapter in place in the stock location with the line ran to the distribution block above the differential:
Coilovers and tie rod ends on:
Ride height for now, may go lower in the future but he's wanting to put some 315s on in the near future so I'll probably leave it for now until I can see how much clearance there is:
Budget AM short throw:
Interior back together:
