too lazy/tired to link to full sized images right now.. so just click that first link to see the 70+ photos I uploaded (haven't looked at most of them, they're probably out of focus and crap)

Nice, I see a couple pros that weren't at MOTM. Too bad I don't live closer, I would have come to that. I can't take off work this month because it is the end of the fiscal year.

I should have specified, haha. It's at the body shop!

Getting my skirts all done up and painted

Suspension recently got slowed down, as the endlink set I was planning on buying has been given a "no expected due date, check back in the spring" response.

I guess that removes Hardrace from my suspension build for endlinks. I don't want chatty AWRs, so I guess I'll be going with MazdaSpeed.
Unless there's something better?

I heard they don't last very long. Doesn't Chris replace his OEM endlinks every few months from breaking?

how do you break your endlinks? Unless you're trying to remove them and they break... I had OEM P5 links since I got the car, and mazdaspeed for a few months now (since the rear sway). No issues at all.

Yeh, same here, still have stockers. I've never had one break, just word of mouth I guess.

I thought it was because of a heavier/stiffer bar, it would put more force on the links.
I may be completely wrong, I was just hoping to save money with the GB on Hardrace, haha!
