Got it all installed! Hardest part was getting the springs out!

I was sweating it there for minute. Got it all connected and nothing. I did make sure to grab the module from the donor car and plugged that in! HELLO! We have power! lifted quickly and stayed put!

From my short drive home, I did feel like it was a bit stiffer, which surprised me. I thought it may be just the opposite.

While under the car, found that the left front axle boot is torn and I have a leak from my P/S reservoir. Just replaced all of the lines thinking that it was one of the lines. Nope. Looks like the reservoir is cracked at the connection for the larger hose. I just replaced that! Ugh. Oh, well. FCP warranty to the rescue!

Once I get the axle and leak dealt with, I'll take her out on the twisty's and see how it feels.
