Well I got a few things done today. I got the suspension basically done in the front. I cant tighten up all the upper control arm pivot points until I get my alignment set. I got the hubs on too, I forgot what I pain in the ass it is to pack bearings.


Also I weighed the stock brakes with the spindles, came out to ~54.4 lbs and has a 10" rotor. The new setup weighed in at 49.6 and is a 13" rotor! So with the tubular control arms and the coilover setup with the lighter brake package I am saving about 17 pounds of weight per side! I think 1/2 that weight is unsprung, so that is a great thing to lose so much.

I also got the shifter hole for the transmission trimmed and the transmission bolted in, driveshaft in.
