I was not feeling well this weekend but I did manage to work on the car friday night. I pulled of the stock rear arms and got the new ones installed.

I did not use the Heim joints on the trailing arms because they have been known to fail under load with the old Heim joints Held was using.
and with me using an LS I wanted to make sure I would not have a problem.
I went a bit over kill on the links, a friend of mine that builds race cars only uses 7/8 bar for those cars and I went with 1-1/8 bar.
also with dealing with Erik at HT we came up with a new Heim to use that is 2x stronger than the old ones for the bottom links.
but I had already built the trailing arms. I think the new joints would hold up just fine though.
Erik at HT is also sending me a front coilover setup for the car with upper and lower arms and QA1 shocks.

Trailing arms et al all look good. Glad you were feeling better by Monday(come to think of it, you had plenty of energy on that hammer; the fish were quite scared ). I finished up the siding today and only have to finish the inside trim.

Erik at HT sent me some pic's of part of my new front suspension so I could





my new QA1 shocks to go with the new tube A-arms and coilovers.
