Let me know what you end up doing. I want a PHB. If you get it to work, I may get one too.

Got some time to work on the car lately. Took a few pics along the way. They are with my outdated Iphone and they aren't the best but it's what I got.

A arms in




Back on the ground




I didn't succeed in getting the MM steering shaft in. I couldn't get the old one out past my LTs but somehow I moved the K member over enough to clear the stocker. We will see how it does after alignment. Next step subframes.

I noticed on your control arms you have them mounted in the lower holes. According to steeda, the lower arms are for stock LCA with springs and the upper holes are for setups with coilovers. Not sure how the car drives right now but just thought i would throw that bit of info out there for you! Awesome build BTW, im considering getting a Steeda K member myself.

They can go in either. Upper is for cars really lowered and lower holes are for slightly lowered cars. I don't recall the measurements off the top of my head. I went with a 10' spring so I used th lowers. Car is stiff but fantastic over bumps. With my spring rates that is amazing.

Looking good. What springs did you use for your drop? And how the Eaton hunt going?

It’s been a few years. All I’ve managed to get on the car is new shift boot, e-brake boot, 18 inch bullitts and tires. I have thought a lot about selling the car. I won’t get anything really for it(sub 10 grand). I have no use for it these days. Maybe I will get back into it one day.
