HEY man... thought i'd let you know:

If you purchase a Eibach Pro-Kit, Sportline performance spring kit or Anti-Roll-Kit sway bars from American Muscle you get a 10% rebate off the purchase price* directly from Eibach. Just make sure you place your order by 12/31/2010. I know you mentioned Eibach a while back. Idk if this applies anymore but thought i'd pass it on. Since i've been advising you on your suspension upgrades.

i got the anti sway kit from Shelbystore.com for 227 shipped. The price was 219, with 10% off and shipping. So I get another 19.90 from Eibach once the kit comes in, on dec 10

I got the install finished today! Yesterday I had to stop bc my 5 year old was helping and he started getting antsy after i finished the driver's side. The Steeda LCAs look nice! And they were a breeze to get in. Torque them down was kinda hard given the angles... but I got it done. Thank you threadlock!

LCA's are on my todo list here w/ the next month or two. I plannning on going with UPR's. There a solid choice for new edges and durable for DD. Except I don't have the tools to put em in by myself :(

all you need is a torque wrench capable of 129 ft lbs and an 18mm socket. Oh yeah, and jackstands and jack, be sure to jack it up under the rear axle though, that way the suspensions loaded.

Eh i may just take it to a place or give a 24 pack to someone for some help? lol. I'm w/o jackstands and im not sure if i have a torque wrench of that capacity...I'd have to check. I know im going to need it (jackstand) in addition to waht you said because I have to lower the exhaust system down far enough to allow access to front lower control arm bolts. HAHA when i installed my catback exhaust i used a jack and the instead of jackstands I stacked up a bunch of wood blocks acting like jackstands. Which wasn't the smartest thing. I don't wanna risk it again i think.

Cool, just wanted to make sure, the words on the internet can be mis-interpreted.

And ebay? Yeah, i found that out first hand lol. Although I do buy quite a few things.... d(epending upon what it is) there are some good deals for buyers on ebay.


Anyways back on topic: Are you free this sunday (dec 19) afternoon, just throwing it out? PM me
