guys, FYI, the PSRS kit will bump you from SM to XP if you ever intend to compete nationally.

I'm hearing great things about the rca on even stock heigh cars. Makes sense that raising the roll center at any ride height is advantageous, its just amplified more on lowered vehicles. Chu, does em2 sell the psrs? Do you have a balljoint tool I could use? Gonna install the rca on friday at the shop since i have off

I will ask about the PSRS, but I'm sure they can get it. If not, I know Petey can ge tthem for sure. As for the tool, I dont have a press, but you can rent the tool at PB or AZ. Since I dont want any downtime, I'm going to pick up two lca and have them pressed. THat way, I just do the install whenever.

Drop by and make sure he has all the tools you'll need before you put the car on the lift, that's all.

Pete, good way to think about it...maybe you should lower the car while you're at it. Your Bilteins will be apart anyways, right?

Why would they be apart?

You're sending the Bilsteins out for a rebuild right? You're not going to take the springs and tophats off the shocks?

No, I never said anything about sending them out for a rebuild. You did, not me...

My Bilsteins are staying on the car for now, as stated in my earlier post today. I'm going to see what happens after I get these other parts on the car. Stop trying to get me to do things I don't want to do... peer pressure, peer pressure....

you really should have swapped those struts. I hope those new parts fix your problem, but if it is the struts, you're not going to be a happy camper after spending all that dough on new ****.

I recall you had me sending all my struts out... I was going to see if it is indeed the one strut bearing, I always said I would go from there. When things didn't go as planned yesterday (imagine that) I changed my approach to the whole thing.

Atleast I have them now... If the noise is still there, then I'll look into doing them again. Although, I'll probably ask for some help next time. If the noise is gone, I'll give Andy his parts back, no harm, no foul.

AKA buying a whole slew of parts and using your problem as an excuse to do so. I likes!
