Whew nine inch is in
Whew nine inch is in Well the SS is up and running nicely!!! I have some details to work out, a little crazy idle, a nine inch that is banging into the body every bump, alignment, and a clutch that engages/disengages WAAAAAAAYYYYY too high.
So far during the breakin period for the rear you can tell she moves, the car feels about 500 pounds lighter then it is. The interior is in amazing condition basically new.
Tommorrow I'm going to go drive it another 15 miles then wash her up and let the rear cool down. Then I need to get my 100 miles on the rear so I can drop the hammer
Nine inch was fun to install, not quite as smooth as I had thought....

It is pretty easy actually, we did run into some problems...
1. the holes were too small for the LCA bolts... it would be much easier to drill them out with the backing plates off.
2. The spohn sway bar relocation bracket doesn't seem to fit... so I'm am running !swaybar right now.
3. Make sure you have an adjustable panhard rod mine needed quite a bit of adjustment.
4. get the Torqe arm bolts halfway in first then work on it from there.
Hope that helps, now that I've done it once it would be pretty easy To do it again, too bad I'm not closer I'd lend you a hand!

Yep I'm waiting for my sway bar mounts and then plan on getting the sledge hammer and taking care of it, although I might look into raising the car up a little bit....
