Complete front end upgrade ..........

Well, yesterday I was able to order the complete 1LE front brake package from Stainless Steel Brakes. The 9 bolt that's in it already has the 12" rotors and the PBR calipers.

Now I can take apart the front end and replace the springs, with ride height adjusters, from Ground Control, replace the A-arm bushings and the 36mm sway bar bushings with those from Guldstrand, as well as the ball joints.

Next month I'll be able to replace the struts with some of the KYB AGF (?) adjustable end links for the sway bar and the caster/camber plates, also from Ground Control.

Then the front end will be done, and the whole car will be adjustable for which ever track I can get it to. It's going to be a fun season.

Next year will be the powertrain upgrade.

... the brake package (from spindles to bearings) was 1200 bux, the A-arm bushings were 40 bux and the sway bar bushings were 20 bux.
The springs with the ride height adjusters are 260 bux.

I talked to Bob at Guldstrand and the info on the website is dated. He'll be updating most of the pricing and parts info soon.
