Still no donor and I have been trying to do other things in the mean time. I will buy some salvage parts here pretty soon.

I ended up picking up a deal on the megan traction, toe, and camber. So I will be heading that route for now.

Well, I've concluded that I need the traction arms to for the rear and Nagisa doesn't sell just the traction arms... You have to buy it with the lower camber arms. I guess my choice is either Megan or Figs... Patiently waiting for the Figs!

If Figs takes too long, hook a brother up!

Very interesting. I just installed my megan traction, camber, and toe arms. During the alignment, we realize that with the megan traction arms at max the most camber i can get is -9 degrees. Did you run into this issue Will?

we have the 5 sets of tubing welding up and working out the tab forming as I did not like how it was turing out. I take a while, but I thnk you guys will see the difference. You have to remember your life depends on this stuff, so we need ot make them 2X as strong as stock since it will put more stress on the system..
