• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

They do indeed. So if anyone with a GXP wants a front sway bar or coilovers they need the older style LCA's ;)

You wan a bigger rear sway before you want the front and if you want coilovers you can still use what youd have to for the rear which is a bracket that connects to the knockle instead and custom end links or universal ones from white line racing.

Edit and to be honest I like the way handled better with the strut mounted sway back links. I'll probably be going back to the style towards the end of summer.
 
Dirty girl sitting all purdy after her bath last night and a fresh oil change. Also got the annoying rattle fixed. The shield around the resonator had come loose so they got that clamped back together.

I know. For now I just want the LCA's and the GMPP front sway bar. GXP's come w the GMPP rear sway bar. So I'm
k w leaving the rear sway bar alone for now.
 
Hadn't thought of doing that. Was gonna buy Held coilovers then sell the Bilstiens with the CCS springs to cover some of the expenses.

Gotcha well you could save more money and just buy the parts and do it yourself about 175 and all you really need is. Angle grinder and basic hand tools

And fwiw the bilsteins are a way better shock to handle the increased spring rates. Mono tube is the way to go. There lighter as well
 
Yesterday I had the day off so - New brakes all the way around (rotors, pads, etc). Replaced the drivers front wheel hub bearing. I also scrubbed the inside of the wheels why they were off. I then wetsanded and polished the headlights (they still need to be replaced). Then I washed it. I was going to do the shift kit, tranny service, and install a tranny cooler, but brown santa didn't show up until 7 and I was wiped out by that point.

Here is a pic I took this morning after a car show all cleaned up.

If I bought the parts and did it myself Is want someone to help me or I'd just send the parts to someone to finish it for me.
 


Drove it 50 miles round trip to family's. Man even after a shift kit and cooler the shifts still slow down a bit after it's fully warmed up. They go from the instant shifts that I prefer for the first 20 minutes of driving, to decent shifts after 45 minutes of driving. Everyone in favor that the PCS is the cause of this? Lower line pressure I assume.
 
Yeah but that's kind of a band aid, and pcs's can fail altogether causing 0 pressure. If I do that, the shifts would probably be too hard when cold since they're already really firm when first driving.
