Maybe I went a bit over the top with the rear suspension project so I figured why not finish it right. Took the parts to the powdercoater for a coat of the shiney stuff (silver vein with 2 coats of clear). Installing Bruce's full kit with upgraded everything, LPW cover, and Royal Purple Gear Oil. It will run on MM Sport Valved Coilovers (575 spring). I am pretty excited to see it finished and feel how rides/handles
ENJOY!!:rockon:

Just think how much money you could have saved if you never met me. Looks awesome, looking forward to getting mine done. At least next winter we will have a heated shop to work in. Furnace goes in on tuesday.

You gonna do the bushing install yourself? I think I'm gonna attempt my FTBR IRS kit after I'm done with my Whipple install. Kind of intimidating I think. Also the IRS parts look great in that powdercoat!

Yea I am doing it myself. It is pretty straight forward. Take your time. Ready the instructions and if you dont know.. Ask Bruce.. He has already answered a few stupid questions from me!!!

Looks good. I did the same thing when I had mine out.
The FTB install is also straight forward. You'll like how it feels afterwards.

Thanks.. Now I have to figure out how to clean up the ugly ass half shafts and spindles I dont want to take apart:bash:

you could always just sand them, tape off the boots and spray some high temp paint on there.
