I wish I could afford to do this right now... maybe you'll be running the special next spring. My 'vert should could use this upgrade.

Car is finally done. I did new control arm bushings and ball joints as part of the swap which as many have posted was a PITA. Bushings and upper ball joints were easy. I let a machine shop deal with the lower ball joint and even he said it was a pain. I measured the camber and toe before we started and marked the lower control arms. Measured it again after we were done and much to my surprise we got the camber just about dead nuts to the original numbers. The toe was off a bit so it needs some tweaking but the car drives straight and doesn't pull. On the Konis I started at full soft and am up to 5 sweeps front/2 rear and the car still feels a bit underdamped.
All in all the project was well worth it and was rather easy, just time consuming. Car was down for about 2 days, mostly due to waiting on the lower control arms at the machine shop.
I'll get the car cleaned up and post some pics.

Some pics from the install. I didn't follow through on the plans to clean/paint everything since the car was beached in a friend's garage. I only did the upper control arm bracket. It was a rusty, shitty mess. I highly recommend the 3M rust and paint removal wheel.







More to follow...

I got mine all installed this weekend! Thanks again for part numbers FirehawkNS! Definitely made the job much easier, quicker, and cleaner to have a bunch of new stuff on hand to go right in! Only parts I didn't need were the lower spring perches but other than that it all came in very handy

Anybody else get billed extra for shipping? My total was supposed to be $896.78 shipped to my door. The total that is billed to my card is 941.16. Has anything similar happened to anyone else? I emailed Kyle at BMR, but being that it's the weekend, I doubt I'll get a response til Monday.

How long is this sale good through? I have a relative that is interested.

Would these packages work for a 2002 SLP SS Vert? Car came stock with the upgraded suspension, IIRC Eibach springs and Billstein shocks. He's hearing mixed answers as to what will work for him.

Got my fronts done. Putting the wheels on tomorrow so I can start on the back. I saw FireHawkNS clean his wheel wells while the bushings were being pressed and I thought that's a great way to pass the time.

TireRack says the Sale from Koni goes through June 1, IIRC. So that's at least as long as BMR can offer the sale price on the Konis.

Bmrs regular price is less expensive than tire racks sale price. I will call bmr today to see if the deal is still available.

Did we get your situation all fixed? I just want to make sure you are taken care of.

The Koni Sale is going to be running through June 30 and we currently have both the Koni F4/F4 and Koni F4/F3 shocks on the shelf and ready to ship.
