Excellent.

Btw, I'm noticing the difference the springs & rear bushing bring (the mount bushing I'm told isn't a noticeable improvement except where the mount would otherwise flex under hard conditions).

The rear bushing brings a firmer gate "lock" feel, and the springs tighten up the side to side play.

Worth it for the effort put into each item installed.

Easiest was the transmission mount bushing, by far, after we realized we didn't need to unbolt the 4 collar bolts. Then rear bushing, and then springs.

Springs wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't for the tight space the bolts were.

Whoever said the spring install was easy (*cough* @Ninjin *cough* ), was wrong. Putting the driver's side spring was easy. Wedging a 10mm hex wrench in there & tightening the bolt down was just tedious. The passenger side with the detent & needing a 27mm deep socket... That was the most frustrating part of the whole install process.

I'm on my phone so if I make mistakes, blame Sportsguy83

Brent seems pretty mechanically inclined and he's probably done the install a few times. Get a couple more under your belt and you'll probably be telling people that it is an easy install.

I'm pretty sure he installed it on Randwells car at my house on a tech day. I think it was the same day Randwell spilled transmission fluid all over my garage floor. Took a while to get the smell out

The main problem with the install was that the one requiring the 27mm Deepwell liked to fall back in and even wiped down it had enough in just the right stop to make it fall back out after starting it. So it kept falling back into the socket until we put something in there to keep it from falling back. After that it went in without issue. Which reminds me I think I left that rubber piece in the socket

Yeah. And also notice the fairly humorous way I put it about Brent being "wrong". It was mainly a bitch to put back in as @Cross said.

Just like the oem rear bushing was easy to remove, but putting the kb one in was a bit tedious (though "there's always time for lubricant!" lulz)

It was all worth it, though. Now just waiting on my anarchy motive shift knob to come in.

I forgot all about looking up a price to offer you, that seems like a good price though for them. I am coming to the Pav's on Saturday if someone else doesn't beat me to them then I want them!
