COMPLETE NEW SUSPENSION

I just finished installing about as complete suspension as possible and wanted to share:
Every possible Powerflex bushing ( got the front control arm bushings pre installed from WAY)
Front camber plates from h-sport
All 4 rear control arms from Texas speed works
Koni Sport suspension kit
new lower ball joints

already have Webb extreme rear sway bar

Love the feel and results. very tight and responsive. acceptable NHV and the Ride is still great.
Have a small adjustment to do to the drivers side to allow for more camber adjustment. currently max settings is -1.6 degrees (would like to see 2 degrees)
