[QUOTE="turbozig, post: 142644, member: 915"] Great job Slymart. Persistence pays off. I can't tell you how many times I assembled and then dissassembled because things didn't fit or look just right. I used completely new trailing arms, but kept the original shims in the 4 bundles exactly the way they came out. I had to remove 2 because the new trailing arms were slightly wider due to the powdercoating. As some have mentioned, I left the spring to diff bolts loose until fully assembled with shocks and strut rods, then tightened in a criss cross pattern and then torqued once full weight of the car was on the suspension. I have found even after breaking in the new parts, the rear is still sitting too high. I have ordered the extra long lowering bolts and will be replacing them at some point. Looking good, Kudos!
