Spent all day pulling the trans and reinstalling it just so I could swap out the slave quick connect fitting.

over the last 2 weekends (bushing issue delayed install of one control arm by a week and shocks where only just ordered this week) I installed BMR springs, SLP Bilstein shocks, Founders on-car adjustable Panhard bar and Founders 3-peice poly lower control arms.
So rear suspension is done, now to get the front suspension rebuilt very soon.
It just goes to show how much my front end has sagged on the stock springs, on flat ground the car sits level, and my front end is BONE stock.

its the suncoast creations ws6 so it sits higher than the oem ws6 . thanks the rims are great, just now it's rubbing in the inside I went with 295 so I gotta probably pound it in a little where it's rubbing. Only rubs when I got bumps tho. And there are a lot of bumpy streets in miami.

Woo Hoo It's Spring!!! Right?
Woke the car up from it's long winter nap and installed new wheels and tires!
Off with the old!!!
On with the NEW!
Front wheels: Hurst Dazzler w/Lip 17x9
Tires: Nitto 555ZR 275/40
Rear wheels: Hurst Dazzler w/Lip 17x10.5
Tires: Nitto 555ZR 315/35
All fit perfect with no banging required!
Still 16" of snow in the yard and 2" of ice on the street, so back to sleep she goes.
Anyway that's what I did to my TA today!

Did the LMC headlight conversion. Not going the HID route, so I installed Putco Nitro Blue bulbs. Also replaced the foglight assemblies with new pieces and installed the Nitro Blues in those too. Looks really good IMHO. I have those bulbs in my 02 Lesabre too and really like them. I started on the sequential taillight mod too. I picked up a spare taillight harness so I wouldn't have to cut the existing one. Just have to wire the modules in.
Just to keep everyone happy, I washed, vacuumed and cleaned the windows on the wife's Optima too!!!
