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.

Man ive thought about it but im just worried it will come out tacky. I think I would rather have all black. Ive got to get the bumper painted on this ***** before anything else color wise.

That car is sick but it might just not look right on an an suv.

Got them both from members on here. The front endlinks were new for $30 shipped and I just picked up the sway bar used for $90 shipped.

Front end links are pretty damn cheap anyway. I shouldnt have waited so long to do it. They helped so much. but you have to flip your sway bar over or you cant clear the tie rods.

that link looks like its for the rear, is that right. Im wondering about the front also. I have rear ones already, but need front ones.

But white lip would look sweet on your Yuk. Drop looks good. man those springs look like they could fit inside the other ones. lol

Its the front ones. We went through this with thehoe92. He ordered that set thinking they were the rear for cheap but it is the front just with a picture of the rear setup.

I guess I would need to see a photoshop picture of the white lip. I just dont see it.

Man those springs are tiny. First time I seen them I was like man these are gonna fallout driving down the road.

lookin good looks like the rear wheels got sucked to the front more. If you do the rear hardware kit will relocate the axle back/fix swaybar angle and comes with new swaybar endlinks.

anything else just hollar im real good friends from mike at djm and they hook me up.

Are you talking about the thread he had from awhile back ago. I remember that. So those are the front then. Are they shorter for being lowered? My front is about inch lower than you. From what you say, sounds like i need some up front.

Ya thats the one. They are way shorter than the stock ones. Like I said I had to flip the sway bar over. Its going underneath the tie rods now instead of above them. It was a cheap and very useful mod I would recommended to anybody thats lowered.
