front suspension install

I'll finish the passenger side and rear suspension install this weekend. Huge thanks to Chuck Moreland at Elephant Racing for making such a great product and providing awesome customer service!

Nikita,

It looks great!

What ER products did you use? It looks like the polybronze bushings and possibly the low friction a arm mounts. Did you have any binding on the a-arm before you decided on the low-friction mounts?

I'm in the process of installing the ER polybronze a-arm bushings.

Nice swaybar, what kind is it?

oh man, your suspension components are nicer polished than my car!

love the orange, not as confidant on the green, but it does add a personal flair

Thanks alot for the kind words guys!! This car is fighting me every step of the way but, it's going to be worth it 'cause it's going to be what I want! I'm going to upgrade the motor to a 3.6l but after my 3.0l is all dailed in.

Fernando, the list is shorter of the products I didn't use! Front & rear monoballs, low friction mounts, polybronze front & rear. I'm not sure of binding issues before because I bought the car as a roller.

The sway bar is actually stock w/Tarrett droplinks as an upgrade. I had the stock parts powdercoated and zinc plated. At the time that I bought the droplinks I thought it was a good way of getting the best of both worlds, performance/economy. I will eventually get the bar setup. I'll post rear control arms in the morning.

Nikita
