It wasnt that bad. The only hard part was getting the old spindle off of the ball joints. I couldnt imagine trying to do this with the engine in the car.

The tubular A arms were a little hard to get lined up and mounted up, we had to do a little prying on them to get them to fit.

Other than that i have no complaints. I havent got it fully put back together, just waiting to put the brakes back on. Im waiting on my Hawk pads and steel braided lines to come in. Then all we gotta do is put my wheel studs, wheels spacers, and mount my 15x4 Centerline Terminater wheels on. Should be shaving ALOT of weight off the front.

Sounds like it is coming together nicely. Do you already have the spacers? I've go a set of 1 inch spacers laying around, I decided not to use them.

i did my k swap with motor in car in just couple hours, not too bad. changing the k will shave a nice amount of weight.

I dont have the spacers yet. I do need a set so i will be hitting you up this week for them.

Pic's are coming. I had a really really really bad 4wheeler wreck today so i will be out of commision for a little bit. But as soon as i get back on my feet i will get some pictures.

Been there done that on the wreck thing, hope everything is ok. I have the spacers at my house, I'll pick them up next time I make a trip in (should be sometime this week).

I wish I would have gotten the UPR. I did a QA1 because at the time I didnt want to do coil overs and tubular a-arms, and you can use stock a-arms on the qa1 k member. Granatelli has a kit to convert non threaded struts to coil over so I may just keep what I have and get that coil over conversion kit for my 90/10's and a set of qa1 a-arms.

ive heard alot of good things about the granatelli products. They seem to be good quality. How did you like the 90/10 struts?

not sure yet, they are brand new, I put them on with the K member after I pulld the engine out. we run them on my uncles fox body and they work great.
