Well, here is a start to my "new to me" control arm drop bracket kit. I got the passneger side one installed but when I went to loosen the adjustment nut on the LCA I was putting every once of butt I had into it and smashed my pointer finger between the pipe wrench I was using and my concrete driveway....and, well, I was done for the night....LOL.
Matt, sold me the drop brackets and a hodge podge of the original hardware for $30. I went to my local Ace Hardware and bought all new grade 8 hardware for $28. So, this complete kit pictured was only $58 all together. Nobody can touch a set of RCX drop brackets for that price. Thanks again, Matt!!
More pictures to follow of the drop brackets completely installed, tonight, after I finish up the job.
