5) b1adesofcha0s (intake) Easy install except for the stupid heat wrap tape...

another mostly successful install...

He has a TSB done and the stealership monkeys did a number on the strut bolts. One was so tight that we had to use an impact wrench and the other they split the top of the strut shaft.

We bailed on the sway bar as it looks like you may have to drop the motor to get to the sway bar mount bolts...

On the test drive we passed a PFAT chevy impala donk car with some kicking wheels. I almost got him to pull in and see if we could work a trade...
Huge props to Kirk helping with the Eibachs and adjustable endlinks yesterday

No squeaks or groans from any suspension pieces on the drive home. The ride is a bit firmer over stock, but very livable. Handling is also flatter. An unexpected benefit of the new springs and the better endlinks is now the steering has even more feel to it than before. The Max now changes direction with a quick flick of the wheel

If we pulled in to trade rims, I'd get laughed at for only having 18's
