If you are coming send me a pm and i'll send you my address info, plan is to get the suspension done quickly to work on a couple other subie guys cars. Also please respect the property I'll try to grab some food, and beverages for the install day and if you guys wanna bring stuff more then happy to take it. Also if you got tools for doing the install as I only have a jack and a few tools I would be greatful.

If anyone has a fender roller / ability to borrow one, might not be a bad idea to bring one along in case there's a need; I've got a heat gun I can bring along as well

Figured out what the rubbing sound was, the reverse lock out cable right above the drive shaft, ended up jacking up the car as soon as I woke up and tied it off. That is a pain in the A$$!!!

lol I had that happen to me as well. Although, I only rolled out the driveway and heard it so it went right back up on jackstands. I ziptied it out of the way in the end.

LOL not a great idea to work on the car as soon as you get out of the bed, but it was bugging me so bad haha, I ended up smashing my finger with the jack, but not that bad. Hopefully the zip tie stays in place. Would hate to have to go back under for same purpose.

My ziptie has lasted 5 years so far (knock on wood). Didn't the KB SS kit come with one? Now I want to take mine to the hobby shop just to check/inspect.

Oh, and yeah I think it does. I don't know why mines started rubbing. Freak accident I guess. My car is pretty good at breaking itself.

Yea when I inspected it this morning, the insulation and protection rubber was eaten away from the drive shaft. Lucky I got to it in time.

Bump for a head count. Maybe we can also post up the tools we're all bringing and the other parts that might want to get installed, time permitting?

I'll be there. I'm bringing my cordless impact and torque wrench. I don't need to install my DP anymore as I did it early this week!
