Boss Frog Arms are the Bestest

So I had a little time between work and a late night change at work tonight so I decided to finally install my Boss Frog Arms. The install was a snap.

I ended up finding a ton of junk in my quarter panels, how it all get's in there is beyond me.

Sadly with the passenger fender off, I confirmed what I have suspected for a while. My car has seen the bodyshop man before.

I took the car out for a quit high speed drive to see if the shimmy mine is about 65 - 72 (The speed I prefer to drive on the highway) has dimished, but is still there. Range has been reduced as well as the oscillations. But, the overall ride quality has improved drastically. Gone is the front doghouse rolling like a boat over a wave at every bump. With a stiffer front end, my front suspension is now doing it's job. The car actually feels more comfortable AND more planted.

Boss frog for everyone! DO IT YOU SLOPPY MIATAs.

Nice job! I spray painted mine with a little black, didn't like seeing flourescent green, between the door cracks. My doors are a little harder to close now. I shoulda checked it first before throwing the fenders back on.

I marked my hinges and the bottom one did move ever so slightly. Problem was, I couldn't get the damn thing to move to line it back up and I was afraid to try and open the door and really mess up the alignment. I already have to slam the doors because the seats rub the door so no worries.
