    installed new lower boxed control arms and new 1" sway bar. Forgot to grease hard rubber sides. The suspension is really stiff and my tires really spin . Sounds dumb to me but but could it be possible the lack of flex lets the tires spin easier????

    sounds like "lack of control in the right foot" to me :TU:

    Did you torque the control arm bolts after the car was back down on the ground vs. sitting up on stands?

    Lack of flex means more force being directed, ultimately, to the tire contact patch---new bushings are a good thing.
