I asked my buddy (former master tech for Toyota and extremely handy guy) how long he would take to swap the front arms, shocks, and tie rod ends. He said 3 hours.
I'm happy to say I got it all done in 12 lol.
Old:
BMR control arms, not adjustable
Viking stock style shocks
Traditional big coil springs
Stock tie rod ends
New:
Smith Racecraft arms, bottom one is coil over style (5 degrees of caster built in)
Afco shocks, coil over bottom, stock stud style top
QA1 tapered coil springs, 300 lb
TRZ bump steer kit
I need to grease the ball joints, generally set toe (got some toe plates over the weekend), hoping to have local buddy do the alignment I don't feel like spending $400 on the tools and turning plates.
Planning to get back out to the track this month, better my current 9.25@150 with something like a 8.7@155.
