If it bothers you so much, skip the banter and read the facts and information that is brought to the table. And much useful information has been brought time and again. Ive found it helpful.

I am looking into getting a v.. one of my first mods will be rims and tires. What is the absolute widest this mod will let me run if I plan on slightly lowering my car?

I want to get the ccw 505a's and cant decide if I should get 18x10 out back to be safe (This might even be pushing it I duno you tell me?) Or could I get away with a 18x11

Many guys sre running 19x10 in the rear and lowered.

I'm beginning to realize I need to drop the cradle to get to and remove the forward most bolt. Has anyone had luck any other way? Otherwise looks like ill be continuing bright and early.

the impervious bubble wrap/plastic wrap job

More like impenetrable. Took me a good 10 mins to get them out! Why weld your parts together when you can just wrap em like this!?

Yes, I found an old MAPerformance thread for installing trailing arms, shouldn't be too much hassle at all.

Also read of guys cutting down that bolt and installing it from the bottom...in my industry, you never install a bolt from the bottom.

How about removal of the bushing without removing the control arm? That's where I'm at now and its getting frustrating haha

Ill try that, it would be easier if I was off the ground more. I'm not a small person by any means

Did you remove the rotor to do this, that'll probably make my life easier!

I ended up just drilling two holes through the rubber and then putting a vise grip on the sleeve and twisting it out. Pretty easy. Need to do some more driving now!

What greaseis recommended for these and the tie rods? Do the ballistic joints need a different grease or everything the same?
