I noticed right away a difference in the GM pogo washers vs zzp. If you choose to change them out later on

Sorry, are you saying GM is different than the ZZP? And better?

Trust me, this bothers me too. Wheels might be in my future, but I have a truck I want to build too.

Nice man, looks good.

Thanks.



Note: the amount of drop was 1 3/16" in the front and 5/8" in the rear. I will measure in a week or so to see if there is any settling; there shouldn't be.



I had her out in the twisty's earlier today; what a difference. Although, you can sure tell that these cars weren't meant for heavy cornering. But, I'm not looking
for a race car, so it performed better than I would need for most of my daily driving.


Back to the good stuff.....

1 Week Later Update.....

Had an alignment done on Friday. The wheel is back where it should be and she tracks nice and straight.

When buddy did the lowering, he noticed that the left inner cv boot was off and a lot of grease has sprayed out. After being lowered, I noticed an "off the line" vibration, which I figured was from the cv boot. Buddy that did the alignment cleaned and re-packed the boot, and now that "off the line" vibration is gone. I do still have a very very slight vibration at all speeds, and gets worse over 110 km/h (60 mp/h). I will work on making some engine and transmission mount spacers to (hopefully) resolve this issue.
