Yeah, it looks like it's gonna be raining next Tuesday too . It was "suspension week" at my house last week while I was off work....new torque arm, LCA's, and a PHR. I've had the LCA's and PHR since last Summer, and just now found the time to install them. The torque arm showed up while I was off work, so that worked out good. Plus, the weather was perfect for messing around in the garage...not too hot, not too cold, and no bugs. While I had the car jacked up, I also changed the trans fluid and added a TCI finned aluminum pan (2 extra qrt. capacity).

Chad does great work....your cars in good hands. Just think how much nastier it's going to be when it's all finished
