thanks guys! the car handles great now compared to the stock susspension. everything is tight and smooth. the T tops dont rattle anymore, the doors feel very smooth, and the car takes the corners very well. and last but not least no more wheel hop...i wish i would have done these first off but i didnt know much about the car. im still learning and having fun doing it. cant wait to get the wheels!

did you do the bolt in or weld in sfc's and lca's? if you did bolt in do they bolt up to an existing spot or do you need to drill the holes etc? thanks.

The bolt in SFC's and LCA relocation brackets from UMI are great - so easy even I could put them in - no drilling req'd.

Do it and thank me later!

BTW - Sweet Plum Crazy Purple! Just like by little bro's 04 GTO!

the sfc's are weld on. the back of them bolt to the front of the lca, then weld in. the lca's, panhard bar and relocation brackets are bolt on and use the existing mount (no drilling required). all done, welded and painted in 2 hours. hope that helps.

Look at my mods. I did shocks last, except for the torque arm. The shocks made more difference than every other mod combined. More traction from dig, more traction in turns, more traction while braking, more predictable, more controlled, more comfortable. I made a mistake not doing shocks first, they are the weakest part of these cars' suspension, period. I also wish I had nutted up for the Konis, now I will have to buy twice.

Thumbs up

I always thought the Non Adjustable LCAs were needed with Relocation Brackets. I didnt think stock ones would reach.
