something with the alignment stuff. I can see how that would probably play into the situation I've spoken of.
How does the car compare to before you modified it?
The car always felt a little nervous I guess. It had the same feeling suspension wise as if you were driving a boat or something. It floats more as the speed increases. I've recently added SAS springs and sway bars.
These are the mods: long,,
2.8 FPR
stage # 1 APC
27Lb Injectors
20 psi BOV
BB T-body
Magnecore wires
K&N cone filter
17x7.5 MIM Asti rims with 205/45-17 Pirrelli P-zero's
SAS sway bars and lowering springs (1 inch drop)
New stuff: ball joints, tie rod ends, wheel bearings, A-arm bushings, Sachs/Boge struts and shocks, silicone hoses, ign rotor, cap, water pump, crank pulley, and plenty more. All within the past 4 months...
Boosting 1/2 into red on a cool day/night of 70 degrees or less.
Everything about the car is fine, It picks up really good, it handles fairly good. Could be a little more stiff/taunt. I'll look into the alignment and see what that brings. I'm sure the answers there somewhere.
Thanks, Phil
