I have pedders z sway bars, pfadt trailing arms, pfadt tie rods, and headers all sitting in boxes. That pic is of the sways

Nice. You're gonna let me test those upgrades, right?

Btw, I still got that grill if you're still interested.

If I see you at a meet, I'll definitely let you test it out bud

If you have a buyer for the grille, go ahead and sell it. I don't get back into San Antonio until mid August

Thank you very much. It ain't much but it's getting there

The other day, I decided to take off the rear bowtie on the car because it was a mess. It was one of the first mods I tried to do and it had some of the red showing where plastidip has peeled off as well as had some overspray around it from where we didn't mask 100%. Well I took it off and cleaned up the overspray and everything else. Here's how it looks right now. Have 2 different bowties I may put on but I'm waiting a bit for another mod to see which bowtie I put on. Although, I will say that I like the bare "clean" look.

Thanks to my girlfriend being bored, we decided to tackle the front pedders sway bar install. Thank god she helped too because some areas I couldn't get a hand into, she did. After starting one day and getting rained on, we finished it up the next day. Here are a few pics of the install. Oh and one of my girlfriend installing the tire lugs (she wanted to do that also)

FYI, you don't have to take the bumper off for the install but I was doing some work to it so that's why it's removed.

Way way better. Wish I had done this mod a long time ago. The car now just goes exactly where I tell it to go. When I tell it to turn, it turns and does it with no body roll. I used to be a "more power" kinda guy but if I had to do it again, I will sway that I'd do at least the sway before most of the bolt ons. We will see how I feel after I do the rear sway, the trailing arms, and the tie rods.

Just need to get a hold of the pedders street z kit and I'll be where I want to be with my suspension.

I've always said that this was one of the most noticeable mods I did on my car.

Looks good ls! I always wondered though when putting in sways how do you know which stiffness to do or is it like a trial and error sort of thing.

I was told to put the front at full soft to start off so that's what I did. Considering its so easy to change it, I'll probably go out and up it to the middle setting soon.
