I lost some teeth there... Oops. Clutches look pretty good though so I'll be reshimming the posi and running it with new spider gears in a 4.56 diff.

Slew of parts coming my way right now. Hopefully I can do the rear at the same time H/C goes on.

I measured the bore in the cam snout of this L98 CC304 I have and it's already 0.5 x 1.062"... no machine work needed which is cool. Comp sent me a longer dowel pin for free so that needs to be hammered in.

Just dropped more than a rent check on a bunch of car parts and I'm still not done. I hope next week goes somewhat smoothly. Gma will be back with 33% more power and a ton more gear. Car is already kinda terrifying and it will only get deadlier lol.

Also, I'm on the lookout for some stock Impy SS rear coils. @popo8 Let me know when you get those Eibachs in and I'll buy the stocks off you. I've been itching to get rid of these Vogtlands and copy the setup on Gpa.

I don't mind the drop. It might be a touch too low but my real issue with them is that they're floaty, need something firmer.

In my experience, if the springs hold the car up, theyre adequate. To control the 'floaty' run stiffer shocks. A set of KYB Gas-A-Justs should do the trick.

It already has monroe super sports aka poor mans bilstein. The vogtlands are progressive with starting rates that are much lower than stock SS. The final rate on the front is still lower than the eibach kit all the time and that is 100% compressed. They are more geared toward ride comfort but I want a firm ride with linear rate spring so it's more predictable in the corners.

Oh ok... cause I was gonna say I wouldve traded u b4 if u dont like ur drop.

I have the eibachs now, which if they are like the ones in the camaro they will be nice and stiff.

Ill let u know when i pull the stocks...
