I went to order the coast shaft but they were out of stock. Got the JE Reel for the same price. Both are 1310 with Spicer u joints (at least as Northridge spec'd them). Look at the Bilstein 5100 as another shock option to save some $. I thought about those as well.

If you drive fast at all over rough terrain, justification for piggybacks is easy. Similarly, if you push your suspension to its limits for a sustained period of time, the piggybacks are priceless. Honestly, MTG is doing it the right way: do it once and do it right. He doesn't need coilovers because he doesn't wheel enough (male stripping at the retirement homes takes a lot of time), he needs something that will handle well on the street to get him to his next trick and also kick some ass on his days off on anything from the wide open Nevada desert to the Rubicon.

What can I say? Have to pay for those piggybacks somehow. Besides, I had to stop going to the law firms...you and I both know lawyers just try to f*ck ya.

(Did you catch that double entendre?)

Soooooo, back to red or blue loctite...I'll pick up some red.

I'm going to throw this question up to the forum as well (over 300 views so far)....anyone recommend a welder in the Reno area?

The EVO control arms have their own version of those...just slightly different. I am more concerned about the Draglink Flip Kit that I purchased.

Thanks Roger! If we get stuck we may just call to rack your brain. Hopefully, it will be smooth sailing. I must have read the instructions at least a half dozen times.

Totally wish I was down at KOH! Looks like a blast!
