Yeap have to drill them out. I'm still using all the stock bushings in mine. I would imagine new bushings would help out with handling though

The old bushings Do I have to drill them out like the control arms I rebuilt. That sucked.

You can contact GTR because they have done a couple/few swaps. Most of their customers leave their parts behind. See if they can send you the parts you need. Great guys - ask for Ricardo or Gonzalo. www.gtrhipo.com & if you get bored, look at their gallery...

Only get to work on it a few days a week. And then only for a little bit.
Got some brakes off ebay for $100 and brake pads for $27.
Have everything installed but the brake lines. Doing that Friday. Now just have to make sure the wheel will clear the one bolt that sticks out just a bit to much.
May look at spacers for the wheels. .375 at most. I think.

The 05 gt wheels have a big off set like the svo wheel.

Progress pics?

Have some picture tomorrow. Drove it around some tonight. Much better than the eibach axle and worn koin's shocks. And quiet for a change. Best of all. It sits level. Always been 1 inch higher on one side. been fighting that for years.
Drives good. Just need to replace the front K member and A arms next.

I had a set of LX pipes and made it work. Cut trim weld. Little more tweaking and I will be happy. Take off 2 nuts and unhook the 4 hangers and it is on the floor.. I know I will need to take it off to do the little things.
