Can't put all this crap back together without also doing secondary cat delete and aftermarket exhaust, now can I?
I think you meant TopSpeed? I did see those and you're right, $200 for the pair is a considerable savings. Great suggestion! The only concern I have is fitment. The OE track arms are curved, for wheel fitment, I think. Did you have any issues?

Yeah I'm sure it was TopSpeed, sorry (I'm old and forgetful). They're actually beautifully made.

I found they do run close to the tire as you point out, so I'm throwing on some 12mm spacers. Here it is with no spacers:


Oh and I also did sway bar end links and bushings, a kit I picked up from an inmate here on 986 way back when I had my engine apart.
