Yep, I will be installing them myself, with the help of a buddy. I have been reading up on it here, so hopefully there will not be any surprises. I will try and take some pics to post up. I also bought an additional set of jack stands last night to get the car up. Getting the car in the air will be the hardest part, I think.

Charlie, you go that right. Tomorrow can't get here quick enough!!

Well, I got them on. Took most of the day with the help of a buddy. We were able to adjust everything without the need for trans tunnel brace spacers. The sound is pretty stealthy, but still lets you know something is "different". I am very pleased :-) Now if only Vararams would start shipping so Kirk can get me my tune....

Nope no surprises. In fact, I went and got spacers and didn't need them. It was pretty much straight forward. I had a buddy help me and I think that made a HUGE difference (esp w/o a lift). It did take some time to get the ball joints lined up as Charlie has mentioned elsewhere, but we were taking our time and making sure it was exactly where we wanted it. I would plan on it taking most of a Saturday.

I will see what I can do about video for Ray. But, it sounds almost exactly like this (video courtesy of MANOFSTEEL69):

I did the install in my friend's garage. He has a lift. It took us
about 3.5 hrs. No trips anywhere. But you should get the spacers[washers].
It seems mosr cars need them.

As an interesting note, the stock parts removed weighed 88 lbs and the new system weighed 71.2 lbs for a weight savings of 16.8 lbs.

Those look and sound familiar :devil:

I ran a 4.47 sec 0-60 with the same setup, before the tune.

Kirk, I am still waiting for the tune....:spank:

Congrats on the install!
