Are you going to use disk brake backing plates (dust shields)? I am about to do my front suspension and have noticed a lot of people are not using the backing plates.
The gears have been a pita... Usually our local guy here is spot-on when it comes to ordering stuff like that. The first time the gears where boxed wrong from the factory and then someone just messed up on the second order. Hope like heck I get the correct stuff Monday.

I would have used the brake shields but one was already missing so... I too, had noticed some don't use them. I mean do they really do much anyway??
I cheated on all the little stuff and soaked it in metal prep and then shot it with the caliper paint I used on the front. I'll keep my old USA springs instead of the new chinese stuff anyday. So far the only metric thing I have are the motor mounts!

Thanks everyone for the comments updates coming soon!! (I hope)
