Springs, LCA's and anti squat brackets installed

well this weekend I spent about 12 hours on the car. I installed some not power adders but it will help with the handeling and looks of the car.
I bought Vogtland springs, J&M LCA's and CHE anti squat brackets. On top of this I put Hawk HP brakes and slotted rotor on the front only. All in all it was a great day. Long but fun.

The sprigs are easy...very easy.
LCA's are equally as easy and worked will.
CHE's brackets OH MY what a night mare!!!! They are very tight to even start to get on. One of the holes didn't line up so I had to elongate the hole(directions warned of this), I had to beat the brackets on. I had to also cut my metal sleeves that come with the LCA's by about 1/8" to get them to fit. Nice product but needs some more tooling and work. The results are awesome though.
The brakes suck as they have to be ratched in with a silly tool that slips off way to much and doesn't much room for error.

It was fun after all.

The old way to do brakes was to put a C clamp on it and squeez the piston back in now you have to but a special tool on it and use a rachet wrench to thread the piston back in. It is hard to hold the tool on as the teeth (if you will not teeth but something like that) slip off.

I put the Hawk HPS breaks on and they are very nice.
