Pictures from BAT Inc Suspension Install

[2000SilverSVT]

All, I have posted pictures from my BAT Inc suspension install. At some point I will merge the suspension install write up with the pictures.

Well done. This will come in hand when I do my suspension in the near future.

Oh, and I see you replaced your LCA's. Is that something you should replace when your doing your suspension?

The bushing for the LCA's were not worn out but the ball joints were. Since it is easier to replace the entire LCA's than drilling and replacing the ball joint, that is what I did.

I did take some before pictures. I will try to post them soon. I also took measurements before and after. I have driven about 500 miles on the new suspension so it should be fully set in by now and will remeasure.

yea, in my oppinion, 17s with BAT kit will look legit. 18's with BAT will raise the car. I have that problem and its not a good story..lol

A little easier, but way more expensive!

Not for the 2 bolt LCAs. They can be had for less than $50 each. The ball joint each is about $20 - $25, so his choice was great.
The 4 bolt LCAs, on the other hand, are indeed much more expensive! B.Jenkin sells them close to $120 each. Ebay has some for like $75 each, but the s/h is like another $15 - $20.

good work, i think the BAT kit makes the car sit great!

Before and after pictures from the side would be great. If you don't have a suitable set perhaps someone else does of their car?
How do you like the ride as compared to the factory SVT setup? I'd like to do this to my wife's car but she'll kill me if it rattles her dental work! :blackeye:
