LTB Clearance pics....for those who asked

Several people have asked me via PM over the last few weeks about where exactly the stage II LTB bolts on, and what the ground clearance looks like (concerns about steep driveways, etc...)

Well, I finally went out and took some pics for you guys...here they are....from the front, side, and rear (also showing the Stillen RSB, which has no real clearance issues to speak of)

Haha... if it isn't rained out, that is ... if I can wake up early, I might stop by, but that's unlikely....

lower control arm bushings. specifically the bush pin link bushings.......they come as a set, so might as well do all 4 at once while you have it off...

yes, it's a stage 2. Yes, there is a signficant difference in both handling and steering response. There are alot of threads on the subject....do a quick search!

thread revival!!!!

To install the control arm bushings mentioned above do I have to take the whole control arm off the car or can I just pop the old bushing off, and insert the new one!? I am about to install the ltb 2 when I have some free time and am trying to figure out the best way to do it.
