    Finally got the rear end in. Replaced about 90% of everything from the sub-frame back. I welded up the camber adjustments and installed the new Eibach springs finally, too. Still waiting on the front camber adjustable plates (been trying to get some since March, 2012 and it's now August 2012. I went ahead and ordered some Cusco brand. Sorry Zachary, I really wanted yours but I can't wait forever. Never did find out what the shimmy was from but I know I had a bad Diff and a bad CV on the driver's side. All in all everything was replaced with the exception of the calipers, spring seats (ordered from Gary and will be replaced when they arrive), and diff mount. New poly bushings, springs, bearings, diff, sub-frame, trailing arms, and tires.

    Oh, and before everyone starts shouting about how much I spent, it was $70 for the new sub-frame, diff (LSD to my surprise also), and CV joints from a donor car. New brake pads and rotors ran about $80, and the Poly Bushings were about $150 with the sub-frames included.
