Default Penske Update

Well i made the front springs the way the shocks were valved for, as well as the rear and got them on my car today, been a long solid day of work but it was well worth it. My god have i ever felt an F-Body handle like this, its too low though. I need to raise the front up with the coil over but its an absolute pain in the *** though with the spanner wrench, but well worth it. I mean the car feels completely different. Definitely wouldn't recommend for an absolute daily driver since when it comes time to rebuild these its going to be a pain in the *** to do this over (the fronts are a bitch to get in if you don't know the technique) but for a weekend car or especially a road course, its wonderful. I can't wait to tinker with it some more.

Yep, the car is not at it's final ride height but after finishing at 1 last night and having an 8am class in the morning i couldn't continue.









Hopefully i can get enough height out of the front without changing the springs.

looks aggressive, when you adjust the front a tad higher it will be perfect
