SpaceGhost Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I will be installing this kit this weekend before the track day, a few people have done this. Are there any tips or tricks to make this easier or easier to get the cradle centered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Biggest thing that took time for me was getting all the bolts started during re-assembly. After lots of little movements I managed to get it aligned so I could put all the bolts in with my fingers a good portion of the way. The fronts are much tougher because you're going through several plates at once. Here is the back on one side. The large hole at the top center of the picture is the best place to use a pry bar to make fine adjustments. http://i.imgur.com/ZUpN9cLl.jpg This is the completed front. http://i.imgur.com/7duJ5K6l.jpg Here is the jack setup I used to support the cradle while I was moving it around. http://i.imgur.com/EWhx2Syl.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I would offer to help but I don't know how I'm going to do everything that is already on my list for this weekend. Probably going to miss a really good Cars and Coffee too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not really lifting the car, just supporting the cradle so putting a single jack on the diff should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I really need to get a good jack I still use mine from Meijer I bough in the 90s. :masturboy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 I really need to get a good jack I still use mine from Meijer I bough in the 90s. :masturboy: That one was like $90 at Sams Club and the cross bar was under $40 at Harbor Freight. Everything under $600 was made in china that I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Well got the car up and started looking at what need to be worked on. And the CONVERTIBLE Brace bolts in to that area and has extra parts the fastback must not. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160423/6ea774d8033c29d8b4fb0757564c9f14.jpg So I guess I just need to return this. Fortunately I bought it from Jegs locally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
