Where's the Beef ? (Hotchkis has it !!!)
 
This turned out REALLY well. With my minimal sklz
I managed to get the stock one off and the new one on.

A few things I noticed.... The "deep" passenger side
bracket was deformed toward the back making the
two mounting plates irregular (Must been that
forced landing a few years ago !!!)

And the bolt on the rear of the drivers side appears
to be close to striping out. (Is there a nut behind there
or just a self tapper?)

Anyhow, the HANDLING is unbelievable ... Can't wait to get the
rear done today.

Buh Bye ...

Cliff

PS.... thanks to Speeding Bob and everyone in the
One Percent club for recommending this mod ....

So do you still have the stock suspension and added the hotchkis swaybars or do you have a hotchkis setup already?

Just the swaybars ... I already had the Roush kit ...
And energy Suspension End links and rear adjustable
endlinks (Fomoso?)
