There's a tool to get the strut out of the hub thing, make sure you have that, as banging with the hammer won't suffice and won't make life easy getting it all back together. (i tried, than gave up, remember point of no return)

Also remember the subframe changes all castor settings, so could steer like a pig once done until you get an alignment.

I wedged the tip of a Cold Chisel in there to widen the clamp, then sprayed in some Lanolin, and the came out very easily.

Also, you will not need to touch the sub frame to pull out your struts. The only thing you need to undo that is attached to the body of the car, and not the suspention is the 3 13mm strut top bolts in the engine bay.

After all was said and done, I went to get a wheel alignment, and my setting were fine, and I didn't need any adjustments. I thought that was great!!

Did any one see how limited travel the front arm has?

Just a silly question i have no idea but by me installing the H&R 30-35mm springs does it stiffen up the car... i know coll overs will do the trick but i dun have the cash.

just thinking them and the RSB and FSB might give it the right stiffness for my buck.

any feed back would be nice.

I say goes for H&R then control arm bushes first, definitely cheaper but may not be easier.

Control arm bushes take a while to fit (for the little expense they are).

I'd talk to your mechanic about what else can be done at the same time to minimize your labor cost.
