I am 100 sure you can get a shop to weld four feet of chromoly weld to end mounts for less than $300 bro. Think about material cost and labor here. Chau's dom tube bar only sells for $150.

 

Rearend shimmying around under hard braking is your FRONT control arm bushings. Had the same problem, went solid up front, car is way more stable.

ROFL at chu laughing at Thai. He's like an F'n noob! First a DE1 student whips him, then he spins for no reason.

Don't need front crash beam...


Just don't crash!

 

speaking of bushings...anyone ever use the stand up 12 ton press from harbor freight (the one thats like $150)? being quoted rediculous prices even if i walk in with just the control arms. just not sure what to do about dies for so many different bushings.

 

I have only used a HF press for my bushings. Works perfect fine. Not even a 12 ton one.

 

Nate, what's ridiculous? I paid a shop installs RCK as well at cylindrical bushings and I don't think I paid more than $125-150 for labor (I provided parts).

 

nate, try a less aggressive rear pad, could be your rear abs kicking in.

 

Who the hell is nate? Have I been replaced?

 

the little a frame one? do you just use sockets for the "dies"?

$200+. Should be $100 or less if i walk in with LCA's in hand.

not sure it can get much less aggressive than stoptech streets without going to stock pads.

i am.

 

Andy, we've gotten rid of all the Koreans.

James isn't here either

 

I wasn't talking about the chromoly beam, was referring to when you said I contradicted myself. Newb!

 

Sounds like fair pricing right thur!

 

Oh OK. Must be something else then. That's the same pad I'm runing in rear.

I would say check bushing and alignment next then

 

Buy the bigger one from harbor freight. That's what I use works great. Can use sockets, pipe, etc to use as dies. And don't listen to retardmonkey about rear pads he doesn't even know what abs is

 

Who wants to take a ride with me to Rockville, MD? I'm off Thursday through Monday, anyone else off?

 

Dont mean to troll but I was actually searching for info regarding people's experience with the HF 12 ton press for bushings and I found myself here. A couple of you know me and to the others that do not, hello my name is Eric and I drive an evo so we can be friends...maybe.

Nate- I just purchased the 12 ton press over the weekend as Im currently stockpiling bushings. I went in to buy the 20 ton but it was massive so I opted for its little brother the 12 ton. Im hoping itll do the trick. If you are around MA you are more than welcome to stop by and use it.
