I should have a cabby front sway getting here soon. I should probably go ahead and get a ball joint set so I can get them pressed in so I do all the work once. I hear some leave the rear bar off or soft for autocross. May not be a good setup for the street but i think I still want the M3 rear bar.

OK, I'm getting really close to a complete suspension redo.
I've got Billy sports for front and rear, Vogtland springs, to compensate for the softer springs I'm going with Cabby front sway and M3 rear sway sitting here, I also have offset CABs, eccentric RTABs, JT heavy duty RSM with reinforcing plate, and I should have all new balljoints to press in shortly.

Can't wait to get this thing on the road again. I've just done new waterpump and clutch fan delete with volvo rad fan, volvo spark plug wires. Tomorrow I may install the volvo front lip and Sable sideskirts.

I really want an Mtech rear wing now.

I love it when a plan comes together!
1/2 way done. Billy sports (w/heavy duty upper mounts), M3 rear bar, Vogtland springs.
I'll work on the front today.

90% done today.
Installed the front billy and springs, and the cabby sway after painting it a bright red color for kicks and to make it less chipped and rusty looking (Should have done that on the rear bar).

The only thing I have left to do is the front CABs. I didn't want to cut them off and be stuck with no car Monday. I could not get them off and they are toasted. I may attack them with a sawzall but i'm afraid of gouging the CA mount surface. I have offset CABs to go in.

Any suggestions on how to get the CABs off?

OK, so I jacked up the CA end getting the bushing off.
Stupid me. It's probably for the best as i was trying to cheap out and just reuse the old CA/balljoints etc. I'm now getting a pair of new CA and powerflex offset bushings.
This is what I had planned on before but was trying to save my money.

Now the car is laid up again. Next week should be a good week.
