That is a nice looking dog.

OUTLAWZ is right, but if you end up taking it off tonight don't go to work tomorrow driving it like you stole it.

Rearend is fully coated now. Tomorrow will be the final sanding and then the black coat. I ordered the dust covers that were gone. I will still be able to put the rear in. I need to ordered the tq arm relocation cross member and studs. If your bored Craig, find me the part number for the arp studs I need. Moser has there brand them $25 or so. From what I understand, if I run a 7/16 stud then a minimum of 7/16 of that stud should be in the lug nuts hex pattern.

haha...yeah...i don't plan on doing any AutoX or anything...lol....i took it for a quick test drive to make sure everything was good and it didn't seem to handle too bad....definately not as tight in the turns anymore....but no worse than riding in a SUV.....hopefully these LCA's help out with the wheel hop....i'm shooting to break into the 12's tomorrow....

if you want to eliminate wheel hop, get the LCA relocate brackets! i did the LCA's and a new TA, but didnt eliminate till i put on the relocate brackets. bolt on brackets will run between 75 and 90 dollars depending on company.

To be honest the relocations brackets are for lowered cars, but each car reacts differently to suspension set-ups. grease we will see tonight I guess. Is mark going to the track too?

i was just saying what worked for me. the LCA's did reduce wheel hop, but did not eliminate it. and while they may be for lowered cars, they eliminated the problem due to a steeper LCA angle.

Son of a bitch......Legacy had a 2001 camaro ss vert that was just traded in a few days ago. I told my wife about it this afternoon and she said she would like to have something smaller and sportier than the TBSS. We go down there ready to trade in her TBSS and somebody is buying the damn thing. Just my luck.

Well rearend has axles back in and the cover on. Also got the control arms and koni's on and ran the wiring for the fuel pump. Need to find some liquid teflon so I can seal the loading caps and fill plug. I have to wait on the dust boots for the parking brake.
