97loudcut Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 That looks awesome! I can't wait for the back end to be done! Yeah, right now the car sits pretty funny.. I guess it's better than doing the FFP's first and looking like every other w-body with bad leaf springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryk2003 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 did they do an alignment as well? x2...i was gonna ask the same thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97loudcut Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'm not sure.. but after I got them installed it seems like the car is aligned better than it was before. I was on the highway picking Michelle up from the airport and I went for like .5 mile without the car veering in any direction. I am assuming they did, so $200 is not a bad price at all.

97loudcut Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Michael from FFP called me today. He said the struts were on backorder, but now he's got them. He said he is either going to assemble them tonight or tomorow and ship them out Saturday. Expect the coilovers to be installed by the end of the month.

97loudcut Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 That's what I'm going for. I honestly cannot wait to throw the 077's on. My nice rotors and red calipers will be bling blinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97loudcut Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Okay, with my tax money I want to do a diffrent custom exhuast setup. Right now I have 2.25" mandrel bent with a Summit muffler I am thinking about doing a 2.5" setup instead, I heard it flows better. I also want a diffrent muffler.. either BORLA or Magnaflow. What do you guys think. I want to keep it single exhuast too BTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Rockstar Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I thought you were going with that MOnte exhaust? I must have missed something.. ..Better flowing exhaust FTW.. It will be nice if you ever turbo the thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 replace the muffler, thats it. Don't waste your cash on bigger exhaust for a car that is slightly modded. It'll flow fine at 2.25 especially mandrel. If you want to throw money away send it to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNless you are trying to pull everything out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
