    The front spindles are done besides the ball joint and black paint.
    Working on the rear right now. Removing two layers of plasti dip and two layers of paint.
    Also need to repair/replace the sway links. Stripped the 14mm bolt to stop it from splitting. Might get a nut splitter

    The paint layers on those calipers reminds me of the VW "harlequin" edition golf

    Ball joints came in but I feel like my grandfather ordered the wrong ones. Are upper ball joints about this size?

    i dont like these ball joints at all. I have them on my green Galant and I tell you what it cant turn for shit. It messes up the caster by alot

    I have adjustable SPC ball joints. Before I put them in I measured all the suspension angles and mine were in dead straight. No change in caster or anything. I was really cautious

    these are the turning ones, not the sliding ones. When you turn it yes it changes the camber, but it also changes the caster. These cost about 45 bucks and the good ball joints are around 160

    No need for headers or throttle body. Just a nice exhaust. I miss when mine was stockish sometimes

    1g TB was Probably the best power mod I did before turboing
    1g headers are not needed
    2.5 exhaust is more than enough, I'd have a cat and a resonator tho.

    My exhaust is mixed up system. Stock manifold, stock piping, test pipe, stock piping, resonators, and a chopped up rear portion lol.

    Installed the 2g eclipse sway bar and one of the bolts I used broke. Charging the drill and will probably change the other 3.

    (Don't mind the Filipino DIY exhaust lol)
