ok, so the directions I got were in greek, and I have done alot of work on our cars.

1st I dont have access to an "alignment lift" only one that lifts the car from the jack points, and I was thinking that I could LOAD the suspension with a adjustable "tranny post" (is what they call them in the shop

)

2nd where do the two metal bushings go on the steeda chrome molly LCA's I know they go up "towards the front" but inside or outside??

Are you asking if you can use a tripod, trans jack, or large jackstand (not sure what you are reffering to) to jack up the rear axle prior to tightening the bolts on the arms? If so, then yes, if you raise the axle untill it picks the car off of the lift (or starts to) then it will be close enough to ride height to tighten them up.

I marked with tape the location of the shocks on the groud (where the lower sleeve meets the upper). When it came to tightening, I just jacked up the pumpkin to where the tape was and then torqued to spec. Just be aware that when you jack up the rear it might lift your car off the jackstands. Be sure to readjust your jackstands accordingly. If I can do this trust me, you should have no problems.

My next wave will be the meziere electric water pump, Lca's and maybe the headers if I have 13 hours and I know that they will fit.
