x2 on not doing the flip. It will make it easier to break the rack & pinion steering. I spent alot of time tracking down longer upper control arm mount bolts which some have had to use to get theirs back into alignment. Ended up not needing them. 2nd gens have longer control arms so really isnt that hard to get them back into alignment if the shop knows what they are doing. I suggest taking it to an actual alignment shop and not a tire store or chain store that happens to also do alignments. The specialist shop will have a better idea of what to do.

I originally just bought the springs and brake line extender from Matt and pieced mine together over time. In the end I spent about the same as I would have just buying the whole kit from him when you figure in shipping charges and such. I recommend just buying the kit and doing it all at once. Plus if you have a problem or warranty issue with something you dont have to remember who you bought that part from and deal with their customer service.
