[QUOTE="eaglesnick, post: 11425794, member: 6445"] It is still at the shop, but I will share my experience to this point. I stopped by the shop today to check on the progress and I forgot to bring my camera and take pictures of the carnage. Definitely not a job for the faint of heart to see your entire IRS in pieces. The guy working on it said the FTBR kit is one of the best kits he has seen, top notch components, well engineered, thought out and complete. He also said he can't imagine this car will hop once put back together. He said the videos are worth their weight in gold, makes the installation process very easy. I did have the BF rear diff brace installed but still had a leak at the rear so upgrading to the FRPP diff cover is a worthwhile upgrade for those of you making some good power. I did go with the FT-5001 kit which includes the rear diff lowering mount, so I needed the milled FRPP cover and it fit like a glove. GREAT JOB BRUCE!!!!!!!!! As for the stock bushings you could actually see worn aluminum and dust/shavings from the bushings moving around so much.
