Installed:
Spohn Chro-moly rod-ended adjustable panhard
BMR Chro-moly tubular LCA's, rubber bushings both ends.
BMR will take their poly/rubber LCA's and add rubber to both ends if you ask.
Install: 1-1/2 hours total, I was taking my time. Took rear wheels off for space to work. Rear on jackstands, and used the jack under the diff to load the suspension enough for the PHB holes to line up. Blue locktite on the nuts, heard they've worked loose on people.
Impressions: Wow, it feels like the rear end is actually attached to the car again. I can add more power coming out of corners, since the rubber/rubber bushings don't mess with the rear roll stiffness. Both launches and braking are more controlled. Well worth the money, though the extra cost for the chro-moly might have been a little overkill for a couple pounds difference.
Next up - 17x8 wheels (centerlines) are ordered, and will be wrapped with Falken Azenis Sports - good for at least 2 seconds on the autocross course compared to the Kumho 712's.
