For those that have been on the fence. The SPL endlinks showed up today (Ground shipment took three days, dang they are fast!) and man do they look good. Real good and beefy. Really well made. Cant wait to get these on saturday with the sway bars!

I'll bring some catch cans for the fluid changes. Keep in mind that Advance does not take brake fluid for recycling. I'm actually not sure where to take it. I'm also a Pepsi guy, but it's Dr. Pepper ftw.
See you all this Saturday.

Brake Fluid needs to be taken to the El Paso Recycle Center off of 24 near Peterson AFB.

Sounds good Will. I posted a start time of 11:30am. I'll start my changing my fluids as soon as I wake up though. Only help I'll need is flushing the brake fluid.

Can't "tell" a difference but I'm sure it helps. I like to flush & replace all my oils once a year.

Had a good time with everyone there, thanks for hosting Robert. Dave it was good to meet you, and finally check out your ride. I really like the mods you've done- looks sharp. Wish I could see you out at the track with that JWT kit at full song. John, always good to hang with you man. Spivey, those endlinks are top notch, I'm going to have to order a set from SPL when I get around to swapping my sways. I'll just remember to bathe the whole undercarriage with penetrating fluid first, LOL. Aaron, glad to hear you got you brake fluid flushed out. take some pics and vids of the PMI day for me,
Will

Thanks for EVERYONE who helped with the big process of putting on those sways.

Robert: Nice home, nice garage, now prepare to loose your car, im taking it! Thanks for helping with the tools and giving me the space to get that done, always nice to have a helping hand.
Dave: Thanks for getting below the car and getting dirty and putting that marine muscle into breaking the bolts. Would have taken a lot of time without ya there, so thanks for helping move it along, and of course i cant wait to get a full speed ride in the G to really get a feel for the JWT.

Will: Thanks for gettin right down to it and helping get those sways swaped out. Your knowledge of the process was very helpful and glad to have ya there!

Aaron: Glad could help with your job, thanks for waiting so long for my ride to get out the garage. Hope your ready to loose your ride as well. PM me when your ready on that plenium. (And brake lines if your up for it!)

Thanks again everyone for the help, nice to meet many of you and see some more of the VQ crowd. Cheers and see yall friday!

Great time guys, we'll have to do it again. My wife says it's at our house next time, whether for a BBQ or a tech day, or whatever.

It was good to put faces and names to screen names, as well!
