Saturday might be off for me - I scraped a bit of my paint on my rear right wheel flare and will be taking it into a shop to get repaired (along with some of the other paint nicks on the car, hopefully). I don't know how long it will take, but if I can get it back before or on Saturday I'll let you guys know.

Don't worry, I bought some Kroil and that should pretty much guarantee any frozen nuts/bolts will be unstuck in a few minutes. Plus, I've been cleaning all the parts down there with WD-40 *crosses fingers*

we can put one car in front of my garage and another car behind it...I can technically fit 3 cars in front of my house, but it will be a very tight fit...and whoever's car is not being worked on can park around the corner...it's a private street so it's not like there's alot of traffic going by

I'm not able to make it this thurs. The car's in the shop now to fix the paint damage I have (and a few little scratches here and there on the car). Plus, I'll be getting an inspection from them. Hopefully I'll get it back on Sat or so, so I can run down and meet you guys doing the install.

Also doing F+R sways along with the springs/shocks. Ray, what tools should I bring in additional? I have jacks, jack stands, standard socket set, can rent a spring compressor from Autozone, and a propane torch. I like the propane torch, btw, best frozen nut removing tool ever.

I'm going to write down a full procedure to everything that needs to be done for the car just in case. I hate doing something, finding out I forgot a piece, then having to redo everything lol.
