So, a week later here and back to finishing this up - if I hadn't repainted the Watts this would probably be a 2 to 3 hour project at the most - very easy

Powerflex bushings test fit - they slide right in very nice even without the grease. Just need to put the grease on and put them all in for real.
It looks like x-rad was just step ahead of me on doing this to his car - I also bought the poly bushing endlink kit from IAP for the rear sway bar and like x-rad am a little bummed about the endlink bolts being just 7.5mm instead of 10mm.
It will probably work fine but it just bothers me to have bushings that have a 10mm hole through them with a 7.5mm bolt in them - so I ordered some new 10mm bolts - am waiting for them to show up so I can finish putting all this back together.
I was expecting the bolts to show up on Friday - didn't happen
Once they're here and I see that they are correct I'll pass along all the info. so anyone can order them easily. They are grade 10.9 so should be good! BTW - I was looking up bolt grade info. on the web ... less I am mistaken it looks like the IAP bolts are only grade 5.9.
On removing the original bolts I see they are grade 5.9.

Well, the seats need new upholstry but come on - it matches the interior. Or are you saying it should have been chromed - I hear that's what makes race cars so fast
Yes - just using the old sleeves - but dang the bolts still aren't here.
