I used a brace that span's across the bay and suspends the weight
of the engine/trans while you swap it out.
That made it alot easier.
You'll also have to have the car up on stands BC you're removing/transfering
the A arms ect.
Want pics?

yes! post away. :-D
swapped out pretty much everything a few months back.
Here's the parts.
MM XL full length subs.
Front coil over's with Koni 5 way struts
QA1 K member and A arms
Steeda bumpsteer
MM 4 bolt CC plates
GMS LCA's
Eibach rear sway
Rear coil over's w/ lakewood shocks
MM panhard
Droped the car 2 1/2 front 2 1/4 rear.
I can still drop it over an inch! :dw:
Handels waaaaaay better.
Corners very tight, solid - like there's no effort to it.
rougher ride
I'm probably gonna mess with the rear some more
Anyway, here's some piX

Still got more to do.

Good lord! Awesome pics! All of that must have cost a pretty penny! I just started on my suspension. I have alot of work ahead of me. :beer:
Edit: Are you going to change out your rear LCAs to a spherical bearing equipped, lighter one since you have Coilovers now?

FuelOnE - I'm glad you like the drop, you're right - it's about time.
thanks for the compliment... I'll post up my progress.
Thanks WTF - it really wasn't that expensive.
Probably around 2200 bucks for all that.
Yes I'm gonna change the LCA's to the MM - probably spherical on one side, poly on the other.
I'm suspicious that spherical on both sides is kinda noisy.
What are you doing to your suspension?
Advice I'd offer you is to call / study up on Maximum Motorsports stuff.
I ended up returning a number of parts that were origionally recommended, and going with they're stuff.
Example, the front coil over's sleve brackets I have are GMS, the top collar
doesn't fit tight and it knocks & the spring is rubbing on the sleve... I ordered the MM relpacements monday...
Springs are fine, struts are good.
They know suspension, and they actually engineer they're parts.
I HIGHLY recommend gong with them.
If you want to read up on the process I did, there's a thread here with more detail:

Fast99snake - thanks!
I'm not done yet. I'll be putting on a torque arm / change the rear to a 3 link.
How much was the IRS swap, and how does it ride?
