Default woo hoo Aerospace brakes, hals, kirkey and A arms are in.

Well did all these this weekend. All are off my friends car that toned down his car quite a bit.
Hals "R" with 300 lb springs in front and Hal "R" with V6 springs in rear. The car rides a little bouncier but not bad at all.
kirkey Pro drag seat is VERY comfterable. It took about a hole day to get used to it but its great now. You feel ALOT more connected to the car.
Aero space brakes are great, stop better than stock. My fiend had these installed wrong so they were a little damaged and i had to even out the brake pads. but all is well. Every once in a while they make a noise when backing up and at low speeds. But i'm sure its just cause i had to mess with the pads.
A arms are PA mild steel and the steering is kinda twitchy now but i think its cause the lower ball joints aren't that good anymore. my friend never greased them up when he bought them. Are these replaceable?
