<b>aaaaahhhhh nice and clean and painted! I had them blasted with aluminum oxide, they looked sooooo good bare, very light aluminum color, but the guy told me they'd rust, so I primered them tonight and will paint them black tomorrow.</b>

<b>Got's the new "19mm" ball joint extenders for the new struts!</b>

<b>New setup with the cast knuckles are much stronger and heavier than the original struts.</b>

<b>Gonna have to press out the hubs and bearings and fit some new 4x100 hubs and bearings.</b>

Default nice work garza!

btw, you missed a spot on the upright :-P

Hopefully the c-clips that hold the bearing in come out nicely. I had a helluva time with mine, but all 4 uprights were from a North Eastern car, which saw a fair share of salt in its day.

Default Damn! haven't heard from you in a 1000 years big fellah!!!

They raise the roll center and reduce the amount of lateral weight transfer when cornering.
