Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I also got the car with an SLP Lid, a built 4.10 (i know... on an auto... that's just crazy), magnaflow catback with silverine tips, corvette servos in the gearbox, a spohn strut bar, and of course a K&N.

So far i've flushed just about everything, and have been inspecting bushings. I suspect my rear passeneger side strut is blown because it makes a clunking noise from the area and sounds an awful lot like a bad strut.

Apart from that, i think i need to get the computer flashed to match the speed sensor signals because my abs light and traction lights come on when i start to drive the car and it eventually disables the abs. If anyone in my area happens to have HP tuners, i'd be more than happy to buy a license and some beers to poke around in the computer and plug in the numbers for my rear end.
