Finally!! PFADT Stage 3 parts

[Moreno1]

The trailing arms are stainless... No rust, no worries. Paint/PC 'em if ya don't like the RAW look that highlights the welds.

Update:
So 12 hours later lol, I have manage to install the front and rear springs, front and rear sway bars, and the front end links. I ran out of time to install the trailing arms, toe rods, and the subframe bushings. And I have to go to work soon. I am actually happy with my work as I have never done this before. Great learning experience. I will update when I start again.

Front sway bar is cake and zero struggle if you jack the motor up about 1.5-2''. I learned the easy/hard way this past weekend lol. Can't wait to see the finished results!

Hmm, guess for whatever reason my update post from last night didnt show up??

Anyway, here is an update. So I pulled another all nighter Wednesday night and managed to drop the subframe to get access to the sub frame bushings. After getting it figured out it really didnt take too long to get those out, just a "V" cut to the subframe and a hammer worked out pretty good. Still a pain tho. After I got those out I went on to the tie rods and trailing arms. The trailing arms were a piece of cake but the problem I ran into was trying to get the old tie rods off. I got the nut off but it wouldnt budge from what I guess was the "toe setting disk" (not sure what its called but Im assuming you set the toe that way). After finally saying screw it (because I had to be back at work in a couple hours) I went to put the nut back on and that disk came loose. I put that tie rod on and was good. I went to the other side and for the life of me could not get that one off. I tried everything. So running out of time I left the OEM tie rod on and went to put everything together. I finally got down turning the wrench at 0630. I had to be at work at 0730. What a night lol.

Alignment update: So I took the car Friday afternoon to get it aligned. The shop was great and worked with me on getting it aligned, the bushings timed, and he got that other tie rod off. Well here lies the other issued, apparently I used the wrong bushings for the tie rod. For whatever reason I pressed in the 18mm ones, not the 21mm ones. The mechanic said just jack it up at home, replace the bushing with the 21mm and tighten it back up (he had made a mark where it should be set). I wake up this morning, replace the 18mm with the 21mm and went to my local auto hobby shop (should of did that from the get-go hahaha) got the OEM tie rod off and went to put the new one, well I'll be damned, I didnt do the other bushingSo here I go again, put everything back the way it was and headed home. So here in a little bit I am going to jack the car up again, change the bushing that needs to be changed and hopefully be done with this. haha

Here is a shot from Wednesday night:

Been there, done that! Congratulations on the install. Do these suspension parts make the car handle better, or what? I'm sure you'll enjoy driving it even more now!

This car is insane now, I am taking turns and S turns a whole lot faster now and not even realizing it haha, take off is A LOT faster from the red lights. It is a different car altogether and I couldnt be happier.
