These were all parts that I bought years ago and had been putting off installing so I'm not sure the total price off the top of my head. I had a lower control arm ball joint start clunking so i finally had to do something. In the front I put new LCAs and radius rods with BMR bushings and Whiteline caster lock washers, FE3 struts with Whiteline strut mount bushing/bearings, BMR swaybars and endlinks. In the rear I installed FE3 shocks, BMR swaybar and endlinks, BMR trailing arms, BMR adjustable LCAs, BMR LCA knuckle bushings, BMR adjustable toe rods, and BMR subframe bushing inserts. It turned into a bigger pain than I was hoping for, but it's done now and the car seems to drive alright.

Drove the car for almost 45 min!
In the process of getting data for Pat G. Discovered the car will break the tires loose when boost hits in second gear 😱
