To add onto that George, re torque them with the suspension loaded using ramps or something. Otherwise it looks fine

Yep, the only way I could get them on was by lowering the car from the lift onto a set of rhino ramps (front only) - it loaded the suspension and I tightened everything up.

I guess the inner part of the bushing is a bit rounded and it's supposed to be like that (the rear superpro endlinks uses ball joints, so it's different)..

Finally done with replacing cracked uppipe and switched over to equal length, Titek header (three bolt flange). Had to relocate and shorten oil lines as equal length got in the way. Installed the new Grimmspeed TMIC and it's nice to have a functional splitter for the hood scoop. Big props to GS for great fitment and superb finish.

Installed Front and Rear Whiteline Sways, Rear Brace, Endlinks, and Swift Sport Springs this past weekend. She handles like a completely different car!

So if you haven't seen my other thread my header cracked at the collector. Not even at the weld. Picked up an EL header from Travis yesterday afternoon, came back to the shop and threw it on along with removing the oil cooler for the time being since the sandwich adapter hits the header. Also rotated the tires. Someone came through and I traded to a Cobb turboback for a bit of lower noise. Going back to Travis for an update within the next month.

That's wild. Never seen a break like that. Must have had some sort of shock to do that, but really weird how it failed. Seems like it would have done that on cooldown or something.

Will be interesting to hear it now.
