KYB GR-2 Struts front and rear
Eibach Sportline springs front and rear.
Homemade rear camber kit (New bolts and washers to space out the upper arm)
I don't have a picture of the pinch welds, but if you look behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels they are hard to miss. Right next to the side skirt. I think there is a diagram under the spare tire cover.
My front rotors dont have the jack bolt holes... I think im going to have to put some heat and pullers on the passenger side. It wont budge.

yes, my rotors did have the helper holes..i think that "most" rotors now do...even when working as a mechanic, i didnt see many newer vehicles that didnt have them...but i dont think that most people know how to use them.

The new rotor didnt have them but the old ones did the difficult part was figuring out what size bolt to use other then that pretty straight forward. Now on the driver side getting those bolt off that hold the caliper to the hub assembly is proving to b a challenge those things are on there under about 4 million foot pounds of torque, and there isnt any room to fit a tourqe wrench in there.

Dead blow hammer and ratchet/socket or just a wrench.

I tried a three pound sledge with no luck I will try a long wrench, the wheel well is very restricted if i had a lift i would just use a cheater bar from underneath.
