What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

This is at a dealer 10-15 min away, reminds me of something.....

Seriously, people only own cars for a hundred miles or so? This is way too common. Impulse purchase I guess. Thinking about taking my boys for a test drive. Afraid I would like it though.

nice cars

 

Go with the 1LE rear sway, you most likely will need new rear control arms and end links.

Wow that Vette is a beauty!

Are they a bad design on the 5th? A few year old car needing new suspension parts.....

[RyanbabZ71]

it didnt need it but when you put them side by side you can see how wimpy the stock bar is. it works but I want better

 

you sound like my wife. I had her help with the second end link as you needed 4 arms to hold the bar and end link and bolt up. She was like well you wouldnt need my help if you left the car alone and didnt modify it. well thats no fun. thanks for helping

My plan was to go with the 1LE sway.

 

the sway bar design on the 10-11 was decent, but they improved it for the 12-15. So I am swapping to the 12-15 style with the 1LE bar

If I ever swap to the Umi lower front arms and subframe, I'll knock something like 100lbs off the front. And being a 1SC/1SZ it already weighs under 3400~, stock, and has already had something like 30-50lb reduced from uppers and panhard bar.

Man Ryan I envy the guy who gets your Camaro after you. He's gonna have a sweet ride!

 

Got a dremel knockoff at AutoZone for 9.99 (!!!) so I've been going nuts on cleaning up my donor control arm. Boy does having the right tool make all the difference. Now that I have safety glasses, I can be even more aggressive with sanding.

I want to clean up my control arm prior to painting....brake cleaner, non chlorinated brake cleaner, or carb cleaner?
