[HWYSTR455]

Quick update:

So I have the original AFX spindles with the lower ball joint upgrade (larger 2.0 pin), and the GW lower control arms that were designed for them.

The newer Speedtech spindles come in both ways, and I ordered the typical 1.5 pin ones, and the matching lower control arms. This would in the event I want to go to coilovers later I can easily do so.

To keep it simple, I ordered the matching upper control arms.

I should have it assembled by end of day and will get the car roughly aligned using the 'TZ' alignment plates. Then will run it up to a shop to have it full aligned.

The upper control arms don't have stops, so I drilled a hole in the cross plate and added a Moog bumper.

The Speedtech lower control arms have only holes for the shock mount, pretty sure that's due in the event you want do coilovers. Since I won't be doing that any time soon, I went ahead and did steel rivnuts for the hole, beats having to try to hold a nut up there while you tighten it. The GW lowers had nuts tacked to the arm, that was nice, but obviously not desired if you want to swap to coilovers, would have to remove them.

Also on the Speedtech lowers, when using regular coil springs, you need to use their' 'isolators', which is no biggie, almost all aftermarket LCAs use them. But, the one they provide is a smaller center diameter than many, and has to be clearanced for shock hardware if you run coil springs. (I wasn't going to start shopping around and try to figure out the different versions).

Finally, I got the 'enhanced' steering arms for use with additional ackerman. Basically you mount the arms pointing towards the outside of the car, and use longer tie rod adjusters.

Soon as I get the previous parts cleaned up I will list them for a deal. You want a better deal, where I don't have to clean everything, PM me. It's the GW lowers & uppers, AFX spindles, with the steering arms, and all the matching original docs. Can pan back thru this build thread and see them.
