Definitely U-shaped on this one lol. Like a horse shoe!

This makes sense, I would expect something less buick-esque from a "performance" part. Surely the solid bar makes more difference. The stockers are not even strong enough to really be safe, you can bend em in half without blowing a tire.

Poly bushings would be another improvement but then you have the often noise you'll get from them if you don't lube them.. I can where that would become a issue for most people (same people that don't do regular maintenance) where it sticking to rubber would make more sense.

Poly bushings you say? Has this been done before?

Not that I know of.. I'm just referring to poly since that's what umi and BMR use. Although I'm sure if you get measurements of the stock bushings you can probably source some.

Patience my friend

Oh no rush, lol. Just planning.

Odd you guys talk about this stuff... here's some car porn












I aired up the summer tires and ... weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Drove to work with just my fog lights on. That wasn't fun, it was snowing huge wet flakes and my headlights built up like 1/4 inch of slush on them, basically I had no headlights and they were just lighting up all the snow in front me of blinding me. So i just turned them off and ran fog lights the whole way. Don't want to do that again.

Changed one sad spark plug.

I got severely bummed out. Dorman trailing arms and GMPP square trailing arms are the exact same thing. So I just bought something I already have...for twice the amount I paid for the originals. Here's hoping I can work something out.

Edit: worked out. At least this discovery was made. Now if I could figure out what year this change took place so we can let the masses know, lol.

If you want..I'll sell you that set pictured above..and it has a sister set for the other side. Comes with a free car, only $5K for the set.

What a deal lol

I will counter that offer with $73, I'll cover paypal fees. And only if you fill the tank.

then i got tot he car and it looks like not one but 2 large birds did a bomb raid on my car, so i cleaned off bird crap, now its railing out. perfect.

also did some maf tuning. f/t's are still learning but look much better now. im sure ill have to tune it some more when the temps get even hotter out.
