The Cart Before the Horse: Spec 3 Build
#80
The rest of my parts came in last night and I had a 5 hour marathon until midnight to get the car back on the ground. New control arms, tie rods, ball joints, struts, springs, sway bar end links, shock tower reinforcements/mounts, rotor, hawk pads etc.

The car feels completely different and is very low now! I romped it around the neighborhood to bed the brakes and really enjoyed it. The front tires rub quite a lot near full lock, but that's probably due to the alignment being WAY off. I even managed to install the tie rods on the wrong sides, I think.
