so true, first this, the rear lower strut bolts WILL be frozen. You should start putting PB blaster on them now, OR go get some lca's to make it easy

It wouldnt hurt. in my experience, sometimes people get lucky and can remove those bolts easily, but more times than not, they're almost impossible. So yeah, you can get PB blaster really at any car part store. go get some and soak the s**t out of those bolts.

also, do the rears first. the fronts will be easy. If you cant get them done, I'd say dont do any of it until you save for some LCA's. otherwise, your front will be lower and you car will look like s**t and ride like s**t.

Hector, main reason why i am doing it is because bouncy ride + snow = dead sexican, and i dont want that. I know i may be plowing snow a little bit, but it is just a "mild" drop according to many people, just 1 - 1.5 inches.

And Tony

LCA = Lower Control Arm?

indeed...suspension work on a car thats been on the road for over a decade will be quite the task. Not trying to bring you down but this is a diy that wont go as planned. Make sure ur ready for anything

woot, cleaing up some calipers after work.. My bro's also working on a big break upgrade. Lucky guy, found two piston calipers off some huge Infinit g50 or something. they bolt right up to his knuckles. i was actually thinking about hitting up the junk yard and hunt down some Legend gs calipers.

They say i always bring the heat anyways...
so you suggesting i should just kight that shi7 up?
yup heat on the bolts really helps stubborn ones, but make sure it's not on the LCA or attached to any bushings, you don't want to melt the bushings around the threads then you're fuked
