Do you have your front suspension on yet? And an alignment?
#22
Front is all done, it will be going to paint tomorrow and getting aligned next week after paint. I just finished putting the LCA's/PHB and welding in the SFC's today. I'm impressed with the roto joints. Very quiet on the road, no sharp feeling over bumps like the poly/rod ones I had before.

If you bought them new (im assuming you bought them from stranoparts?) you get a life time warranty from koni, so you should contact Sam and talk about this with him.
If you bought them used you may be SOL.

Thats a sign of blow out shocks, and that makes sense seeing that you had the "disconnected" feeling front to rear (goes to show just how much shocks matter).

They are brand new. I think I might be doing something wrong. How many turns does it typically go? I stopped at like 5 or 6 since I didn't want to force it if it wasn't stopping. BTW, the disconnected feeling is gone, the LCA's and PHB fixed it. The rear axle was 1.5" to the drivers side and the passenger side was 1.2" back from the drivers side with the stock stuff.

Well, got the car back from paint today, heres a few quick shots of it lowered and the hood painted. This weekend I will go out somewhere with my good camera and get some decent pictures. Yes I know the exhaust tips are not lined up and its driving me nuts.

car looks badass man. have you thought about some black overlays for the "formula" on the doors, pontiac letters in the back, pontiac on the headlight and the bird up front? what color you going w/ for the bb stripes?

I'm ordering BB stripes in black this weekend, and I'm thinking about doing the pontiac on the back too, not sure on it yet. I bought formula overlays for the doors but they didn't stick so I trashed them. I may get another set. I am also going to polish the taillight center panel and put a silver bird with on it with formula instead of firebird.
They were like $1310 shipped to my door with Nitto NT555 mounted and balanced.

Love those wheels.
Do you have any rubbing issues?
Can you get a front angle, rear-side picture so I can see the offset better?
An angle like this?

Thanks man, I wanted a hard top and spent the time to find one that I liked. Looks way better IMO on the plain style of the formula where the t-tops look good on the T/A.
