Anyways, here is a summation of everything for you guys.
Sorry, no pics yet, they are sitting in the film canister waiting for the rest of the roll to be used up to get developed.
As for my new setup, everything related to the front end has been vastly improved.
When I turn, I no longer worry about where the car is gonna go, it goes where I tell it, and doesn't ***** or moan at all.
There is no wheel wobble no matter how fast I am going.
Turn-ins are seamless.
I scare the **** out of my friends sometimes how fast I take corners, but after I do it they are pleasantly surprised at how solid it handles.
I'm sure that just having shocks that aren't completely dead makes a big difference in and of itself, but all three together make for really solid and dependable handling, even with stock 105k mile springs lol.
I also used the supplied spacers that come with the tie rods and my steering radius is noticeably tighter, which is a plus.
So I guess all in all, everything was worth it, and I am even more happy to have the car now, and I also baby it a lot more. But sometimes I just have to test it or show the difference to my friends.
As for s14.5 boy...
I hit a 3x3 foot pothole that was about 7" deep. The only reason I didn't see it was that it was camouflaged by snow, so all I saw was a little crack in the road. Then BAM!! all ****ed up. Pretty much had to replace the whole front left corner.
If anyone has any questions pertaining to any of the products that I used, feel free to ask.
