Anyone use "LA Sleeves" in their build? Thinking of 3.7"...

I am rebuilding my IRS this winter/spring and one of the last items I had to do was replace the bearing inside the passenger rear suspension knuckle. I dropped the knuckle and new bearing off at a local Ford dealer on Thursday and picked it up about four hours later. I went to install it today...
Ok the time has arrived to upgrade my IRS bushings. I have the car safely supported. Everything that needs to be removed is (calipers, antilock brake sensors, parking brake cables etc.). The car currently has 16.5” clearance from the lowest point on the inboard LCA to the floor in my garage...

Anyone ever try Granatelli Hot Street Coil packs? They are rated for 45K volts stock is 20k volts. My car has 50k miles on the stock coils so I can't imagine I am anywhere near 20k volts. My car has all of your typical bolt-ons.

What is the best cleaner to use for your carpets? Something that is not heavily scented would be ideal. Every cleaner I have used has an overwhelming perfume that takes months to disperse. As a result I neglect my floors and mainly just vacuum regularly and spot treat as required. Has...
