When i first had my car, i COULDNT wait till i threw my parts on. Slowly as time passed...i became more and more patient. But i know the feeling... once your parts are all on, you wont want to stop driving the car randomly with nowhere to go.

the original caster arms were totally shot. car rides like butter. the braces really tightened things up and i am very glad i went with the spring shock combo that i did. The steering rack bushings were a good call too. I'll take better pics when the car is clean.

I pulled in and a white gs followed for new rims... told him to take care of his faded tails


Blown caster arms




Original stock subframe brace


Two new SRT subframe braces and a lil shot of the rear sway



Front lower brace



shaved and sanded the rears


final result... the last two pics are crappy but i'll have better ones

I did get it on ebay but its not the center cap sticker those are a lil bigger and thinner and this is stamped metal. I want to order the actual emblem direct from jp but i wanted to see how i feel about the look before droppin $198 on a button. No shame in my game that extra $186 i saved went towards picking up my led mirrors

Car looks great! Ride height looks idea for a daily and those wheels flow so well with the car. Nice work.

What tires sizes are you running?
