I really like the ride. Still playing with the settings, but I think I am happy with what they came to me at, 6 in the front, 5 in the rear. It's a much more enjoyable ride than my previous setup provided, which at the time seemed unlikely.
The parts are not new, they're the ones that [MENTION=30949]SIKHILUXSURF[/MENTION] was running. Coming off his truck you know they're in good shape.
My rear springs are 861's, for now. I think I have too much weight for the 891's at this point. The spring rate of those is only like 10lbf/in less, but they're quite a bit shorter to boot.

What's the "new" spindle? I want to see this!

There you are.
Basically the two bronze bushings have been replaced with three bearings. It opens and closes with absolutely ZERO resistance. It has less resistance than my front door.

I replaced the totally shot muffler on my TRD exhaust this past Friday and I am VERY happy with it. My HOPE was to have the same sound, just not as loud. I was skeptical, however, noticing that the dimensions on this muffler were a bit smaller than what I had.
Here's the muffler I got:
Amazon.com: Borla 40665 Turbo XL Center/Offset Universal Performance Muffler: Automotive
Compared to the TRD setup it has a VERY similar tone, but is CONSIDERABLY quieter. In fact, while accelerating WOT I can, literally, not hear it over the supercharger. Driving around town like a human I can barely hear it. (Keep in mind that I have sound deadened the whole floor and all doors).
Anything would have been an upgrade with the state of my old muffler, but this thing is perfect.
(I'll go make a video now, I suppose)

Here's the video I made of the exhaust... Forgot to focus (was trying to hurry) but the sound seems accurate.

So why are you getting rid of the light racing UCA's....
Not enough flex now with the new suspension??
What will you do with the old ones....sell?? How much?

Thanks man =D I appreciate it.
I am getting rid of them for 2 reasons... Neither of which are good.
1- Starting to squeak. They need greased, which means they need taken off... I mean... I'll already have them off, why not upgrade?
2- They'll match.
Sold them to a buddy for $100

Thank you for the order [MENTION=63487]A.Wilson013[/MENTION]!! And for blocking out your pricing :target:
These should be a nice upgrade from the SPC / Light Racing arms.
Loving the build:clap2:
