Sedan Chat Thread
The Sheriff was a nice 30 minute distraction. My wife misjudged a parking space and hit a car. She left a note, but it got rained on and they could only read her name, so they called the Charlotte PD, who in turn called the Union county sheriff, who pulled into my driveway looking for my wife. But he had the wrong name, so we chatted while he waited for a call back with the right name.
I like to say my wife was the subject of a multi jurisdiction man hunt, because it pisses her off
Operation Koni + Swife Installation = complete
I started at about 11, and I finished at 6. Yeah, 7 hours. But I had several interruptions, my sister-in-law and her 3 kids, my father/mother in-law and a surprise visit from the sheriff
That 7 hour total does at least include getting the car jacked up and cleaning up everything and putting my tools away
I could do it a lot faster if I was doing it again.
Anyway, no real problems. The bolt that everyone seems to have problems with only caused me issues on the passenger side. I supported the A-Arm with my jack on the driver side--other wise you're just torquing the suspension down--and it came right off. Not on the passenger side. Used a 6 point wrench and a dead blow hammer. Problem solved. You probably don't want to do this job with 12 point sockets/wrenches, 6 points are a must.
I drove a couple laps around my neighborhood and was pleased. No squeaks or any bad noises. Feels tight. Driving impressions tomorrow. Because inlaws.

Looking good man, need to see it in person. Or maybe ride in it... its coming along great though.
It really doesn't take much adjustment variance to be a few tenths different in camber. And I'm sure you've seen enough examples on this site w/ seemingly identical suspension setups where the alignment data is rarely identical.
But I thanked your post anyway... not that I'm trying to push you over 1000 or anything.
I only killed 4 Sammies. I should have gotten a lighter beer.

Glad it all worked out and hopefully your wife's situation goes smoothly.

Fast intentions exhaust was easier than I imagined. Everything bolted up fine and it lined it up perfectly. Initial impressions are it sounds great outside the car but I wish it was bit louder. Review to come soon.
Looks really nice! loving that IPL and Drop on a sedan! or are you fooling us again with PS?
