Had the alignment done this afternoon. Things went without issue!
Took her for a brief drive back to the shop, totally different road feel. Rock solid but not harsh, took a corner, stayed flat. So Brads in the clear for now...
I'll know more once I get a chance out on the open road. But that will be a little while as I start phase 2 of the project.
The BIGS product review-
FIRM FEEL - Torsion Bars ***** Easy install, no clocking problems, good fit
HOTCHKIS - Greasable LCA Pins & Bushings **** For the money you couldnt cut a grease groove in these?
P-S-T - Adjustable Strut Rods - LCA Stiffening Plates - T-Bar Adjusters ***** Whats not to like? Good fit and finish, I will be keeping an eye on the heim joints tho....
BILSTEIN - Front Shocks **** Good quality, did think the dust boots were a little on the cheap considering what these go for. Had to tweak the LCA's just a little to get them to fit.
HELWIG - Front Sway Bar *** Big but lightweight, sturdy brackets, nice fit, but absolutely HATED the hardware store style washers that were included with the link pins. How much could it cost to make some proper fitting cupped style washers.... really?
MOOG - Offset UCA Bushings ** This was the biggest PITA of the entire project - why arent these made with viable instructions? Or better yet with 1/2 inner sleeves and an offset hole in the bushing washers. I've used lots of MOOG parts over the years, this just dont cut it.
I cant belive how high the count is on this thread.
I hope this info benefits somebody here thats for sure.
And thanks to my good friend Jeff for all his help!
