Well, I say they were there for good reason hench the fact they have the upper and lower control arms, as well as the quads so why remove them.
well with them on i have to have a wheel spacer and i the lug nuts dont get much thread on the studs. just feels safer without the spacer on. plus most tire places wont even touch the car if it has spacers on it.
Because there dips. Most Dealership shops don't know shit about poop. They see an aftermarket part on they think you have a drag car off the bat. To be honest I beleive they do that for a policy purpose anyways to keep it real which is understandable.

yea i agree totally. One of my firends is a manager at discount tire and that is that he said. they cant touch them because of the insurance. but he always just has his guys do the work for me and i just throw him a few bucks under the table. i love it.

Becuase they are there to help the "FACTORY WEAK CONTROL ARMS"...The aftermarket control arms are 10x's stronger then the stockers...Thus you dont need the quad shock...Plus after about 50K miles the quad shock is wore out anyways...

Which do you think is stronger and less likely to give with torque and hp?

How did ya like getting those upper bushings out? I did it for a buddy, and after that I'm too scared to do mine. It was kinda of like Hell+frustration.

Took a drill and a drill bit and drilled holes in the bushing until the small metal piece (in the middle of the bushing) came out and then continue drilling until I was able to tap the bushing out.
