I just figured that replacing everything would be easier than removing the LCAââ¬â¢s and having the bushings pushed out and new ones pressed in. This way I get rear discââ¬â¢s to replace the crappy drum brakes and everything else when I am at it. As far as I can see it will only be around 10 bolts to get the whole thing out in one piece, 4 on the sub-frame, 4 on the trailing arms, and the other 2 being the struts. It shouldnââ¬â¢t take more than 1 day to do the re-and-re. I should be able to do this in the driveway with a good impact gun and fair size compressor.

Maybe I missed it, but are you going to rear discs at the same time? If so you will definitely need new e-brake cables - - and you will also need new rear flex lines as the OE SVT setup is 2 pieces per side vs. 1 long one for the SVT upgrade kit (which is essentially the same as the single flex line per side of the 05+ ST.
