Thanks and thanks for the offer but I already have the entire new rear suspension in the car. Thats an older pic of the suspension.
Roll bar is in and fit great I also removed the Airbag sensor disconnected the DS and PS connections and pulled the wires.
Only issue i had was my dumb *** wasnt thinking and I messed up the fuel return line. So Im picking up the Speedinc fuel line relocation kit tomorrow morning. Should have the interior back in tomorrow.

Heh, the lower A-arms I was referring to was, on the FRONT of the car
(front lower a-arms)but, thats cool.

I'll be picking up that fuel line kit myself, hopefully within the next month, after my surgery.

Yes theres a few reasons, they dont fit the LTXshootout class i run and from everything Ive read there a no huge gains with rod ends. The biggest reason I went with poly is that I drive the car on the street and cant stand the vibrations. I even ditched my tunnel mount TA Set up for that reason. I just couldnt stand it on the street.
