Going to do my arms this weekend or next. I decided to start off with the 4 tabs

Not a problem. Thinking I can do it on my own

What I remembered most is I needed a few 18mm’s of various types and a few extensions. Good luck, easy but a bit time consuming. Dropping the cradle the way to go imho. Don’t forget to unbolt the brake line on the d/s. Also, if you’ve got a rear strut tower brace don’t forget to secure the nuts holding the shock bolts which also hold the brace.
Edited to add, now that I think about it I did cut the one bolt on the drivers side on the upper front frame side arm. Cut from the bottom up, not through the wheel well as others. I wasn’t going to cut my sheet metal either. Thanks for the reminder fubar. I’ve dropped the cradle before to do the BMR Cradle Lock Out Kit so I got confused for a second there.

Yup, watched those guys as well as Speedy, of course!

With some extra patience and a 6-9" blade I cut the bolt and flipped it without notching the body or dropping the cradle. It will test you...but is doable.

The rest is pretty cake.

On mine one side is 4’s and one side is 2’s!
Both sides return very near zero camber.

What was interesting in the instructions is it said you can make all your camber adjustments with the long bar (one next to spring). I would think they both need to be the same but that isn't how it reads. I just started with them both the same

I did the trailing arms on both of my cars and it really made a difference.

Yep @Speedy! has a good video on this mod as well.

I did the trailing arms back in 2020. I have the 4 uppers arms now. I probably won't do the toe arms being the factory are adjustable

I did them too just to get the mushy rubber bushings out of there. They are beautiful parts btw. Too bad they are under the car.

My setup went together in pieces, just what happened. The toe arms are $400 so not thinking it would be worth it

@vortecd I hear ‘ya, but I’m an all or nothing guy and did mine in steps as well just due to cost considerations.

That call gets interesting. I would start with both the same. If you run into toe adjustment problems you can start playing with the “front” arm, but that is a dark highway. I spent maybe six weekends all together screwing with the alignment and those tabs, since I have the whole set. But changing out just one of the two sometimes returns surprising results, like N/C!!

This is a little late, but buy some Longacre toe plates and a camber guage and do it yourself. If you installed the AAD bits, the alignment is no problem. It works for me!

You should be leaving Florida soon to get to Missouri next week with that slo Redeye.

Place that did alignment is right around the corner from me and they have free checks. So I can make changes and go back. I get what you are saying but I shouldn't have to keep changing it
