September 10, 200818 yr Author comment_273888 As of this afternoon both brake calipers are back together ready to go back on.. (Special thanks to Curtis at work helping me out with them).. Also this morning I managed to degrease the hubs and knock the old bearings out as well.. Plan on cleaning up the hubs tomorrow and giving them a quick shot of paint. Then I need to get the rotors machined.. Report

October 9, 200818 yr Author comment_280398 After some steering arm dramas as some people will know, I have finally got the new suspension in. Quite a bit lower than it was before, Still need to get the exhaust raised a bit as its the lowest point on the car since lowering it.. Took it for a test drive and it feels miles better, was partially to clean out the oil the f@$kstick mechanic put in the exhaust for shits and giggles.. Report
