Yep
Ok let me start off by saying this took me around 5 hours to do. 2 of those hours was on the drivers side rear sway bar bushing bolt's. Those assholes stripped and were almost impossible to get to. I ended up cutting the bushing and most of the bracket off in order to get to the bolt.
Mostly everything else went smoothly. It was a little of a pain to get the front sway bar to line up with the new end links.
I had some QA1 10-500 springs for my coils for a while now. The ride was mediocre at best. Pretty bouncy and they didnt get me as low as I wanted. After I put in my new 500 lb speaker box it was bottom out city, so they had to go. These 5" DJM coils ride very smooth I still bottom out but not as much. That is to be kinda still expected though since my equipment in the back, at least with these coils I can buy helper bags and put an end to that issue. They got me just as low as I wanted. I swear my front is some how higher now but I know its not true. Im sitting at 33 1/4" all the way around.
With the new rear sway bar and front end links this thing floats now. I used to be able to feel every crack in the road but now thing have drastically changed. (Side Note I broke one of the rear sway bar end link bolts while installing the rear sway bar, so im rolling on only one side of the bar bolted down.) Still handles like a peach. I would describe the turning now as more of a boat feel. It is really smooth. The front end links helped my turning so much. My power steering pump now longer sounds like its about to shit itself when I make a turn.
So over all after the bolts pissing me off for so long I am very happy with the way it turned out. O ya and THE 24's ARE BACK ON!!! Im so glad they are back.
When I started the day
The bushing/bracket I had to butcher.
Old vs new.
The DJM's maybe longer but they are about an 1" lower
DJM front links
Rear
I swear the front is higher but it measured even.
The broken bolt
Happy camper
