ok well me and my friend took time to put the new kmember in friday night we started at 11 and said screw it at 330am.we took an hour to get the broken lug key off. then got the old out and couldnt get the piece off the top of the shock that we needed. so we put the new kmember with the lower a-arms under and started to put it in only to find that all the bolts r wrong for the tubular kmember. so we gave up. i almost lit the car on fire. but i took some time today got it all in and now i hav one nut for the lower ball joint kickin my *** once i get that im done for my break and it wiil be back to a roller. i didnt get enough done im kinda mad because every problem i coulda had with watever i did happened.

well i got wat will probably be the last of my work for this break done this morning. i most likely wont be home again till school is over in the beginning of may unfortunately my truck took up too much time from me. but the ls1 front brakes and spindles r on and the car is rolling again the stance is kinda sick pics dont show it like it is in person. i came upon a small problem for some reason the front studs arent long enough for the skinny greg weld front wheels so thats another thing ill have to end up changin here's a few pics ill update if i get anything if not i wont be in here for awhile
