    It's been weeks since my car was sitting on it's front tires, first it started with front drum to disc conversion, then I had to replace a few power steering hoses, then a set of front lowering srings, rebuilt the front spring perches with poly bushings,poly spring insulators, new shocks, new poly end links, poly sway bar bushings,and a few things I can't seem to remember :)
