Looks good.

While you're under there, you should consider replacing your rear diff bushing.

Probably going to hold off on that for now car doesn't have that many miles. And I'll probably end up doing a dif cover and new fluids later this summer so I'll have to drop it then.

Rear Swaybar endlinks only if you are going to run a rear swaybar. If you are going square setup, you may not need it. You will need them if you go with coilovers
and corner balance the car.

I didn't know that planned on using the stock sway bar for the rear since I heard it's not really worth it to get the upgraded rear one. But I am planning on getting it corner balanced so I'll pick up a pair. For some reason I thought since I wasn't swapping the rear sway bar I could get away with not getting end links. Now I know I appreciate that info Spooler!

I kept my stock rear swaybar and didn't need to upgrade the end links. Front Hotchkis needed them of course

If you corner balance the car they are needed to make sure you don't preload the rear suspension. I was watching the scale when my car was corner balanced the first time. The endlinks had to be set properly so to not disturb the corner balance.

Pretty much got everything covered. Since you're going this far. Get the front lower control arm bushings too. The big change is when you do the rear sub-frame bushings.

The rear sway bar is dependent on your rear tire size.

I did also order the z1 collars a while back that I'm planning on installing at the same time. Are those as good as just flat out replacement of the sub-frame bushings? Probably going to hold off on the front lower since I've already spent a chunk of cash unless you think it's really needed?

Also another question is it going to cause too much wear on my tires if I drive around for like a week before getting an alignment? If it is that's fine I can drive my other car I just wasn't sure since I have heard you want to drive them some so the shocks settled but I wasn't sure show much was too much. I'm planning on doing the install one weekend and then the alignment and corner balancing the next.

The Z1 collars do not replace the bushings. They slide into the void in the bushing. You will still have some movement in the sub-frame after install.

The front lowers. You already did the rear. Why leave the front have done.

Don't drive too far until you get an alignment.

Mine was corner balanced without the rear end links and this shop specializes in race cars so I assume they knew what they were doing

Alright alright you convinced me I'll do the front what's another few hundred at this point am I right

Are the Z1 collars still acceptable? I don't really want to get something else if those will get me most of the way there but at this point my wallet is up in flames and I'm following your lead even if it's off a cliff at this point
