both of my rear arms are freezed up(like many others :angry: ) + one of my rear shock blow so I got the following items to replace my KW.
-All the bolts for the rear(can't believe how expensive those bolt are)
-energy rear spring cap, lower control arm bushing, blade arm bushing.
-a set of used lower arms so I can have bushing pre install(what a PITA)
-SVT suspension set
During the install I realize that I don't have the front top mount bracket so I am now running KW coil front and SVT back. Now with all those new things(+ plus bigger bar and energy bar linkage) the rear feel very stiff, almost too stiff. With the very stiff KW front(300lb+ spring rate) I feel "sea sick" everyday I get to work... :blink: But it handle like a dream, if I push it you can feel the oversteering the rear kick out but still perfectly under control.
one question is I didn't install the blade arm bushing because I remember someone said it do no good, is it true?
PS if anyone have freezed arm and need a pair of used arm mine is for sales.
