I have most of the suspension mods done, but didn't have LCA Relocation Brackets. Shout out to Hawks Third Gen who makes the Sinister LCA Relocation Brackets. They are awesome, and you can choose between and 1", 2", or 3" drop for your LCAs.



Please don't mind the 10 bolt I'm not that rich to get a 9" yet



While she was up, a nice shot of my true dual, over the axle 3" set-up.

Looks nice. Is the dent in the drive side pipe to account for the panhard bar movement?

It's a Mecham Wing, I get mixed comments.

If you had a Panhard Relocation, do you think you would have still needed it? What else did you have to do to get the pipe to run over the driver side axle? And what size piping are you running?

Panhard relocation only allows 3" duals over the passenger side. I have a couple friends run their true duals under the axle.

My exhaust is 3".

Cleaned the door jambs, and T-tops, conditioned the weatherstripping, and got her all shined up inside and ready for her first show. Hopefully the weather holds out!

Put my new rear end set up in the other day. Decided to put it in my silver car now so I could play with a it little bit. Wound't be as fun on a stock car :p

moser 9" rear narrowed 2" on each side, drag brakes (not sure what kind but no ebrake), MWC tunnel mount torque arm and DS safety loop, PST chromoly driveshaft. And the pics

First off, who needs a truck? Psh. Drove all the way to IL with the top down in the rain. Same on the way back. The looks we got were priceless. Going over 50ish in a convertible keeps the whole interior dry. I love it.




out with the old




In with the new



Everything installed and on the ground. I am lowered on BMR springs with koni lower perch on front and HH mod in the rear with custom 3" duals. Surprisingly I gained a tiny bit of ground clearance because the DS safety loop/crossmemeber pulled the exhaust up a little more.

And yes that is a Hello Kitty sticker on the diff cover


I love this rear end. Now I just need stickier tires

Been kinda busy with mine here lately. Over the past couple weeks I had new front & back sway bars, lower cntrl arms, adj panhard bar & torque arm from Spohn. New Conti. summer perf tires and went auto crossing last week end !! All those mods seemed to pay off.. I hung rather well with the Porches. Did a radiator flush and changed out my clutch fluid. Yesterday, I sent my PCM to TunedByFrost.com so anxious to get that back. Glad I have my Envoy to tool around in. Next are brake and rotor mods !!$$
