[IROC-Z]

nice lookin junk, about $55,000 more and you'll be in competition with Mikey :P

[theSteve]

my... uh... stb... it... um.. doesn't fit.

??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

i'm following the instructions (yes, there are instructions) to the letter... but there's not nearly enough hood clearance.

it says the bar is supposed to be 1/8th of an inch over the TB.. i'm like a FULL INCH or more. i don't get it.

Oh and I think I'm gonna wuss out on the spring/shock install and pay someone to do it. I've never done it before and don't wanna fuck something up. I really do feel like a noob about the stb tho. can't figure it out.

[theSteve]

[iroc22]

Well there you go, all the more reason not to get someone else to change your spings and shocks.

the one that sits at the top of the strut under the strut tower... like in the fender well.... uhm... I dont know what its called

[theSteve]

well my mechanic tried his hand at the stb as well.. it doesn't fit.

its the right part and everything... i duno. he said he has a friend who can fab a bracket up pretty easily, so hes gonna see about getting that made for me.

the other equipment is installed.

the car sat DAMN high right after install (waaaay higher than before), but it lowered the heck down in a hurry.

after driving around this evening, the front is lower than it was before (yay) and the back is about the same. i trust it'll settle some, though.

the ride is awesome.

one of my old springs was actually broken right off at the top.. and the piece was still up in there... such a freakin mess. the sway bar bushings were done-for as well, so those are replaced now too. turns out the brake lines are in dangerous shape too.. so thats a project for next week.

[Bagged_camaro]

odd how it doesnt fit? whats the problem?

[Ta88gta]

i remember hearing about some that didnt fit quite right, but im sure that they managed to fit.
