Re: Starting out
Good to know. It didn't look like that was a viable route. I need to do mine, but am NOT about to attempt it myself. It's not bad.... yet, but I learned my lesson on my 79 Impala.

Re: Starting out
Trust me I fully understand. I'm thinking about changing the material. But damn sure don't wanna do it again.CrashTestDummy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 3:20 pm Good to know.

Re: Starting out
My VCM OTR got delivered today, I didn't waste anytime and got it on the car. Unfortunately no instructions. But tons of good YouTube videos for install. I definitely feel like a rubber bushing or sleeve should have come with the passenger side bracket. ( I know my engine bay is dirty haven't cleaned since acquired)

Re: Starting out
Quick clean.... driving it this morning was a drastic change. Can't wait to get a throttle body and intake.

Re: Starting out
Today installed Superpro radius arms and Superpro lower control arms. While in there I found the front pads getting pretty low, threw on a new set of ceramics.
I cant explain how much the new arms changed the ride quality of this car. It really does feel like it's riding on rails!
Next weekend should be Pedders coilovers and new tie rod ends. I ordered Superpro Strut bushing and rear spring isolators to knock out more rubber under the car

Re: Starting out
Today I tackled the pedders coilovers. I definitely need to order smaller tires for the rear but I love the stance of it.

Kooks headers installed to pair with the solo performance exhaust already installed.
