Shifty Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks to Tucson's version of Iraq's "Highway of Death", I got to rebuild teh front end of my Z/28 daily driver that I rebuilt last year. This time it included new springs (Eibach Pro's), struts/shocks (Koni Yellows) and some BMR goodies to compensate for lowering 1.2", and some fantastically hardcore J & M strut mounts. I also am trying out StopTech's in place of teh Hawk ceramics (it has been converted to C5 brakes, btw). I also needed tires, thanks to teh crap streets, so I went with Michellin Pilot Sport A/S + runflats, since I don't have a spare thanks to those C5 brakes. I'll put up some pics this weekend, I seriously need to clay and wax teh poor thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually stay for a couple of hours. If I get there by six, wife usually shops at the supermarket, then we get something to eat, and hang out until it thins out, so if I knew you were coming, I would hang out till eight at least. I have to show you my custom rim job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifty Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Remember that it's a driver-a true 20/20 car. It might have been better if I didn't have a dickweed of a painter jack it up, but I've tried to keep up with it teh best I can considering that I've put 80k on it in 7 years, all city miles.... I'll make it up there someday Rich, probably when I've taken teh day off and it happens to fall on Freddys Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten consecutive stops from 60-10 followed by driving for a few minutes to cool the brakes down. Then another ten stops from 60-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
