      LCAs (poly bushings) or drag radials, shocks and springs may hurt your traction more than help

            i put some pirelli tires on, then i did the lca then the torque arm, then the pan hard rod and did my shocks last night. i stick to the ground great! just take it one step at a time and do the tires first. cause hey, you can't drive without tires! [img]graemlins/slap.gif[/img]

                  Tires are BY FAR the most important, you can spend all the money you want on suspension but if you've got crappy tires all that suspension work won't do you any good.

                          That's not suspension ;) LCAs, torque arm, GO!
