Re: steering response up +100 points

Looking good. Those tie rod ends are a pita.

The back is pretty simple, but put a jack under the brake assembly when unscrewing the bolts. I didnt and stripped one of them (brake assembly hanging on a few threads while unscrewing), which left my car at a 45 degree angle on blocks for a day till I could go out and find a shop that had the right tap to fix it. At least get a buddy to hold it up while your unscrewing- its pretty awkward trying to do it yourself. Looks like you got a camera man, so your set.

Good luck with the install.
