To all you people who are smarter and have had your vehicles much longer than I:
Do you think that dropping the subframe and then putting it back a bunch of times is bad? I know that some of the bolts used in vehicle assembly these days cut the threads themselves when they're run in at the factory, which means that the slightest misalignment can take material out during reinstallation. I'm wondering if anyone thinks that doing suspension work incrementally can be bad because of this. I'm sort of a one-and-done type of person meaning my inclination is to buy all suspension parts at once so that I only have to take it apart once... but then there's this other side of me that doesn't want to spend thousands of dollars all at once and also wants to see what each individual thing feels like before adding to it...
Any input would be appreciated!
