I forgot that we had to do the alk bushing but that was easy compared to some of the other bushings. I know Tyler has mostly whiteline bushings. But the super-pros were a great alternative. We still did spend a few hrs drilling and cutting out the older bushings for sure. A select few need to still be pressed in but most cases they are all able to be pressed in by hand.

I tore a med hard WL ALK bushing a while back, and per Whiteline's insurections after Speedelement couldn't squeeze them into the brackets with a press and grease alone, they had to freeze the bushings for an hour to make them fit. You know, thermal expansion and all that. Hey, it worked!

Alignment done today and washed the car.
-3.0 Front
-2.0 Rear
0 Toe all around
My front camber plates are maxed out and bolts are too.
The car feels more crisp with all of the new Superpro items and the alignment, will be giving feedback after I push the car a bit on the suspension bits and tires.
Rear clearance is almost perfecto.
Barely clear my driveway with the drop but damn today is a WET WEDNESDAY!

Massive oil leak in the work parking lot. Ended up towing it back home to find a crushed oil filter. Like it had imploded. Not a fun time getting it off either. :/
If in doubt, FLAT OUT
