That's brilliant, if i weren't so **** about getting all the water out of every crevice, i might do something like that. Are those Koni Yellows, or Oranges? either way you're in for a treat my friend

They are the orange STR.T along with some Strano springs, alt relocation kit from CBR Performance and a Powermaster 58242 165 amp alt. I can only imagine how much better these are going to be since I am still stilling on the stock DeCarbons at 152K miles.

Ah, you're in exactly my boat then, i switched to STR.T's and Strano Springs at 150k off the stock setup and it felt (and still feels) like i was driving a race car...that somehow was harder and better riding than before all at the same time...and all the creaks from the rear end stopped too, haha

I'm curious how much they will lower your ride height?
Thanks.

The X is what I have to play around with the most to make it all tuck up. As for the mounts... Once I got it tucked up good the first time, I held it in place with a floor jack. Then I marked where the mounts would be on the back of the rear seats, drilled holes and mounted with some bolts. One of these days I plan to getting around to welding in some more permanent mou print brackets.

Glad to see its not just me...
Worried about "clearance" as my car is lowered lol.

2002 Firebird V6 Learned from my Sons Firebird that the heater hose plastic elbows will eventually start leaking.
So on my daughters Bird we did a pre-emptive strike and changed them out with metal ones before they became and issue. She gets her learners permit next week and is excited about getting on the road.
