Default just put 16 hours work in to the car

Well i started around 10am yesterday morning and finished today at 2am. I installed my spec stage 5 clutch. Wile the trans was out i found a trans leak in the top cover i fixed and a rear axle shaft seal that was leaking that i fixed also. I installed a set of Hawk ceramic brake pads with a set of Stoptech braided lines.As well as flushed it all out with some motul 600 dot 4 fluid. I also installed my Hal/QA1 shocks on all 4 corners. Any way it was a long day and drove the car home with no problems have the shocks currently set at 8 in the rear and 6 in the front feels good seems like you feel the road better then the floaty feeling of the stock suspension

ya my favorite part was the brake lines they only give you like 2 inches to swing the wrench on the frame rails and im glad they made the z06 clutch bigger and kept the tunnel the same size very hard to get to the bolts i dont wish that job on anyone and now you have the cooling system for the trans and my car is a header ca so that means header removal also fun also id take a c5 with out headers any day of the week
