2qwk I think you chimed in when I was dealing with the eibach debacle....... Im still on their rear springs with a whileline spacer on the lower perch. Its actully resolved it aside from the riding like *** part. Im pretty confident Ill be happy with the BC kit once I get it in. I have a full energy suspension kit including the rear subrame bushings that I plan on installing when I get my car day. Sadly it probably wont happen until December unless I brake it up over several weekends. I think angles were part of my problem with the first go around, so Ill be trying to get that more precise this go around. Might even borrow my lift at work if they will let me....would make the job about 10 times easier.
im hoping if after I drop a lot of the factory rubber I can resolve a lot of it. I have a sneaking suspicion the previous owner may have been a bit harder on the car than I am

Cool.
Just fyi, the energy stuff wasn't engineered as good as some of the Aussie stuff. If it were my car, I'd hand pick bits from down under. Whiteline x-member bushes have a small sleeve which helps cradle alignment be close right from install. They also close the cradle To body gap which helps some form of wheel hop.
To have the best you would have to source from a few makers.

The shop has repaired the crack in the feed side of the turbo mount, fixed my leaky power steering line and changed the tune from closed loop to open loop. Now I'm just waiting for the hub centering rings for the wheels and looking for a repair place for the saggy headliner.
