Eh, just too lazy to take the hub assembly in. And obviously can't take the whole shell. We have various threads, I just assumed standard threading for these applications.

Well this is a thing now. Tomorrow morning I'll work on getting the hardware for the front and then I can put the car back on the ground.

^ You easily have one of the most practical approaches at modding your car than anyone I have ever seen. It is so purpose built and thought out, I love it!
I'm probably the slowest person to ever upgrade their turbos ever. Like 5 years with the 9b's it was torture!

Thought: any reason to make adjustable rear upper and lower control arms?
I know uppers should be all that's necessary to adjust for lowering, just know that my ball joints need to be replaced on the lowers and not sure what options we have for that.

I snagged me up a set of PTE 550cc Injectors on ebay for $60....I'll get them cleaned and rebuilt and they should work great with the 13G's I'll be putting in later on.
Well, did quite a bit of searching, there's a lot of conflicting information on the rear ball joint replacement for the lower arm as far as what will and won't work. I'll likely just have to buy some and see what I can find out. Likely find/make a replacement bushing as well. Boo.
Making adjustable lowers is an option, however would require fabricating some kind of adjustable bracket for the sway bar to attach to such that the tube can still be rotated and adjusted as necessary but the sway bar can still be mounted. Not sure it's worth the trouble. Then again, $200 each for new rear lower arms is flipping pricey. Making some kind of bracket to be welded to the rear trailing arm instead would be a bit tedious I think. And need to be spot on between the two sides for the sway bar to do its job properly. Bah humbug.
