Yep...I just have to come in again and say how disappointed I am in the stock suspension. This cars rear end is all over the place w/out a good sway bar. The wider tires seem to pick up every bump in the road...unevenness... it just moves around now. Ugh... I won't EVER drive something like regularly. Those sways and super cars seriously spoiled me.

Entire exhaust is out. I have a bad ass stainless works exhaust now sitting in my computer room...lol. I figure I'll go and coat the headers, make 'em look good, and get them ready to install next weekend. Can't wait to see how that turns out.

Stereo is coming out tomorrow. That'll be fun...

Other than that, I have to leave pretty much everything else in the car. I want to take out the side markers and intake...but...they want me to leave the car as is. I suppose I better not do anything or tick anyone off. I'll let it be. I can always get new side markers later on, which is also a MUST.

Just a few more days!

Will you be installing the sways on the zl1?

*TAG UR IT* · 07-26-2014, 11:42 PM

Not the front. Yes....going to install the rear.

Our early cars were pretty swishy. Probably why one of the first things they improved on was the suspension. hahaha

I am just FLOORED at how swishy... night and day difference

I think maybe those rear gas struts are bad. The shit bounces up and down like nobodies business. It's freaking horrible... Never never again... and the stock sway has to flex like freaking crazy... Maybe...nah. I think I'll just leave it as it and tell the dealer they might want to change out the rear struts and sway to compensate for the wider tires.

Front on the ZL1 is supposed to be the same size as the 23mm bar I have.

Isn't that correct? Don't see why the front would need to be changed for the same thing. Now a stock SS would benefit....but 1LE and ZL1, I believe, are supposed to be the same.

You might know a guy...

*TAG UR IT* · 07-27-2014, 03:51 PM

Hell yeah!!!!!

What was done to Joe's?

Lowering springs, sub frames, and sways?

JusticePete · 07-27-2014, 03:56 PM

Sways, HD rear, full radius, camber bolts.

You can install a SS front sway with the Z rar for a significant improvement. The rest you'll have to wait a bit...
