so i messed around with the upper control arms today to get the wheels atleast somewhat in the right directions,, goes for alignment on thursday but i wanted to drive it....
idle is a bit high, easy fix, shifts too early, easy fix, alignment way off.. thats the bad...
the good is: the 11.75 front brakes are a huge difference.. way more then i expected. the steering box feels great even with the alignment out,, it is hissing dome so i'll call pete monday about that. the shocks are an incredible improvement.. with 1" bars, 130 pound rear springs and kyb shocks it would chatter and kinda move the car sideways over washboard type of bumps in the road if that makes sense... the car now has 1.08 bars, the same 130 pound rear springs and bilsiein shocks all the way around.. i hit those bumps right down the road from my house and noticed the differnce right away, i felt the washboard but the car stayed in place and didn;t jump around...
one of the things i'm really happy with is that the windshield washers work again...lol.. its something stupid but make sme happy.
oh, one more thing.. the exhaust dron is worse.. i'll drive it more and see how bad it really is.. may be in the market for different mufflers... hate muffler shopping.. never know what is gonna drone and what isn't..
