So all done except the caster lock install. None of my cutting tools fit in the tight spot. Looking for a cutting bit that will help me out but no one local seems to have anything. I work tomorrow so Sunday I need to pull a rabbit out of my ass and get it done. Alignment is scheduled for Monday morning...

Also the rotors got here today also. No pics till Sunday. I'm going to order the pistons, pads and hardware kits. I'll probably have the brakes done in the next couple of weeks.

Holy shit! I'm finally done. Those caster locks are a SOB to install.
They go in a super inconvenient spot and the tools needed to get it done are a bit tricky. I'll explain and take pictures of the tools. After I get it aligned I'll explain what I did and what I think of the install after some road time. Right now I'm just going to lie here and hurt... lol

So just a pic or two. The verdict is still out on the new suspension mods. I need to drive it some more.

So just a quick commentary on the install of the caster locks. The area is a total PITA to access. Shy of pulling the front bumper off for easy accessibility. You should get a Carbide burr set it needs to be a combo of short and long bits. I initially only had short bits and the outside slot was super easy to do but the inside was impossible. I ended up getting something that did the same as a long bit. This in combo with a right angle drill and you'd be done in about 30min a side.

The Brembo pads and hardware showed up yesterday. The pistons and seals show up Tuesday. I'll have to figure out when I'm going to do the brake job. It's championship weekend for my son's football team. So I'm going to have to get creative time wise.
