I will purchase the DA kit for the rear in a few weeks. While I was in there, I also replaced my front lower control arms with newer 03 cobra front lower control arms. The process was pretty easy (and was made much easier with a lift). The only places that gave us any trouble were removing the bolts on the k member for the lower control arms (we had to move the rack aside). Also, you're going to want to hit those bolts with some PB blaster as they were a little tough to get going. Secondly, I would highly recommend using some sort of compressed air tool to separate the spindles from the old lower control arms. The only other inconvenience was trying to find somewhere to put the calipers. Since you're removing everything you could hang them on, we found they fit nicely in the little alcove behind the struts (see picture). Other than that, the install was pretty straight-forward; remove and replace parts as you see fit.<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3183/3054833910_94ca89b8a5_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/3053999851_e7e03bdd34_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3170/3054834128_4c4312ec2e_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3002/3054834792_cd4055ce07_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Driving impressions? Don't really have any at this point. The install was wrapped up late last night, so driving was limited. I was also experiencing some ABS problems, so I didn't really feel it out. Will be able to update with driving impressions in a few weeks. The car is probably at the ride height (in the front) where it will stay for street use, and I'll probably raise it up a little for the track. I'm running a 265/35/18 on an 18x9 up front and I've easily got room for 275s, so I'll probably buy a set of either 17x9 or 17x10 wheels for track only.If you have any questions, ask away...I'll try to answer them as best I can.</blockquote>
