Right Rudy?

Alright man, I am waiting to learn! Ya, I guess you are right...the first time around for everything took more time than the subsequent installs I've helped with...

How was the install...man, those are all the things I need to do...just ordered pretty much everything you installed:

04 STI

1. Kartboy Short Shifter
2. Front/Rear Bushings
3. Steering Rack Bushings
4. Brake Pads (Project MU NS)
5. StopTech Brake Lines
6. 2 pints Motul 600 Synthetic

...so how was the install of the pads and lines? Never done that before...I've read and re-read Scoobymods on the the Short Shifter and Bushings...steering rack bushings don't sound very fun...but I am sure with some experience tips from everyone here...it would be better...

Let me know what your thoughts were please on the install...

Thanks,

Brent

the pad and lines were pretty easy, you just gotta have the tool to do it(flare nut wrench for the brakelines), and that one small wrench(don't know what you call it) to loosen and tighten the nipple when you bleed the brakes...steering rack bushings for the first time was a ***** with blakes help, but i've done 3 cars already including brandon's and now it's not too bad...

hahahaha...yeah the driver side is alittle bit harder, but remember don't tighten the passenger side all the way yet as you will need to play with the driver side alittle more to make the ****er fit right...
