and yeah it did shred my tires something fierce, but now its all on point.
i dunno, maybe i need to check my brake lines.
I gotta look all this stuff up before i move to philly this june/july.
not gonna have a garage to be able to work in out there.
and changing oil is about the only thing id feel safe doing in the street in philly.
I've had it sideways on accident at the track and on the street, and had to use the e-brake to force a slide to prevent a collision once (on the track). still straight and true, unless the roadway is tilted for runoff. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=185785
remember, take your time mr. baldtiresvalvelashfailkingJoho22

but thanks for the offer, i mean were only... really far away.
tomorrow is oil change and clean air filter day.
and pay RAOLSD...
but i assume this installation is within my grasp.
it doesnt require anything to be TDC :-)

Srsly, though, you're actually not very far from me. If you have a passport, you can cut through Canada and I'm only 5 hours away.
And we'd actually be helpful, and you could see some very cool, well modded Evos.

do you mean sway bar and perches? if you are talking about the tie bar I suggest you read, thoroughly, the DIY on here. Pay specific attention on how to retain the correct position of the camber bolts

so i just neglected to point out they were two separate parts...
but i also grabbed the lower tiebar.
and after reading that, there is a lot more to that process than i initially thought,
but ill be sure to have my mecanic friend be around when i do put it on... but ill wait for a day that i am not
going to be bombarded with snow... like today
