wait.... It went like this..... It seemed you were trying to justify tinting ALL the glass... The only person you need to justify yourself to is your wife... The only thing she's concerned about is if you have enough insurance coverage on the hot rod (she's a keeper)... THEREFORE..... ..... speaking of tinting your glass, is your insurance paid up?  It made sense to me

I had some pics to post, but I left the camera at the shop.
We received the plates and cups for the rear suspension. I got the nitrous tanks filled and the car is off the rack and in the dyno room... In the morning, we will do a base line pull to make sure everything is as it has been, and then it's time to check out the nitrous set-up. We did add some C-16 to the cell this evening and applied power to the pump. Everything powered up as it should.... Tomorrow, I am stopping to get a battery for the winch going on the trailer, and a box to put the battery in. I'll get the winch mounted in and amongst the dyno pulls and helping Corey as directed... Maybe by tomorrow afternoon, we'll get to take her out on the street and see how she rides... bearing in mind of course, the suspension is set up for the race track. I honestly can't wait to report back to Pete how it feels and responds..

Robert,
I did some research. The slippage, the track marks we saw in your in your sub-frame connections were most likely caused by the Sub-Frame OEM Bolts stretching under load. Some of my most respected Dealers saw this with the CTS-V under similar circumstances. Please order up four new OEM sub-frame bolts. We can now return to Mr. Twisty Quote:

Initially the sub-frame bolts had a blue thread locking substance on them from the factory. They don't any longer  I suggest you use LocTite on the existing bolts for the short term and on the new bolts when you get them.I like to make sure things don't come loose in the suspension so I LocTite EVERYTHING. I find it more economical to buy my LocTite in 55 gallon drums. Then you can just dip the sub-assemblies I was doing a training session at a Dealer's shop. The poor guy I was working with had to take at least half of his work apart because he kept forgetting to use LocTite. What was really funny is he got drilled on it so many times he started to LocTite the lug nuts
