so you're one of those types of people....work on your own car your own way. I'm about to hang my car from the ceiling with fishing line just so I can have more forum entertainment from your reactions.

In other words. It gets the job done, why would you worry about the way I choose to do things?

Look, people are just trying to make sure you don't get hurt working on your car, OK?

This makes me want to rip into my suspension next... I'm replacing the clutch this month, I think the next project will be new control arms all around plus coilovers.

the car is done. 14" from ground to top of the fender on all four corners. with the car being so low to the ground it feels so much smaller. it feels like a civic now.

this car feels brand new. after the alignment ive been driving it around everywhere its super low to the ground and handles amazingly i cant believe it.
