I know I chased the boys with mustangs when I was single!

Haven't seen Bill "offline" this long before... guess he is taking lots of pics for us!

It is still saying "load, arrived at Jacksonville...". I would guess if a truck picked it up there, I'm waiting for the "empty, departed Jacksonville..." message.

My buddy Mike and I ordered these today:

BMR Panhard Bar

I'm sure I'll need it down the road (and they had a deal on shipping if you bought 2).

I got a <span style="color:#FF0000">RED</span> one to match my interior (like you see it anyway).

Hi All! I'm back!
Install went very smooth and I didn't kill myself! It took around 3 hours total, including taking a bunch of pics.
Did the rear first, then moved to the front. My buddy brought over his floor standing spring compressor and cordless impact wrenches, saved us alot of time!

Also took detailed measurements before and after the spring swap.

I'll start a new thread in the Modification-Performance-GT Performance section. It'll take a little time to compile all my pics and write-up. I'll present it in such a fashion that that the 'regular guy' can do it. It'll be a great reference thread for future spring installs.

btw, Tom, won't need the adj panhard bar. Rear axle was off center from the factory and lowering it with the Steedas' centered it perfectly! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img] No joke, couldn't believe it.

Bill, so how does it look? Better, I'm sure...

Camber look good? I know you can't tell if it's perfect, but are the tops of the tires leaning in at all? If there is no obvious lean, then you are probably very close to specs.

OMFG !! I hate this. They don't update crap on my car on the UPRR site, but my ETA keeps changing.
Now it is 03/07/06 Good grief get the darn thing hooked to a train for god sake!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]
OK I am done ranting.

89Trooper

Where do you see your ETA? On the UPRR site? ERL? I can't get the UPRR site at work for some reason. I called the ERL today for the heck of it and it said my car "left the ramp" or something like that with no ETA. It used to give an ETA, but now... nothing.

You guys are #3 and #10 on today's top 10 posters! Congrats!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

There is the site lol

Just got home and checked it... mine still says it is in MI (released from Industry).


Didn't take many posts to get in the top 10 today... must have been a slow day. Plus, Bill was busy...

I probably have way more than it shows... but if you post too soon, it adds it on and doesn't count it as another post! (Like this probably did!)

Yep!

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] I totally understand... every post I put here was extremely negative for awhile there. I couldn't believe it the day Kzinti told me it shipped (I thought it would be there at the plant forever). We're all pulling for you just like they were pulling for me for my car to ship.

LF just under 28-1/2"

Okay my friends, post on my spring install is up! click here!

Here's a little teaser pic, enjoy! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]

89Trooper

Thanks! I'm guessing (hoping) your RR that you entered is wrong. 29 1/2"?

My car is checking out the Space Shuttle (Titusville).

Susan probably meant 29 1/2".

This looks to be the week for your delivery! Almost there, Bro! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

Ride quality is at the end of 'part 2'.
But, instead of going there, let me tell you that it isn't bad at all! If you went for a ride in it, you'd probably wouldn't know that it's been lowered, seriously. My lifted Tacoma rides much stiffer!

89Trooper

Now I see it... (I went and looked anyway [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]. How did I miss that?

And, yep, hope for delivery tomorrow or Tuesday. The good thing about working 2nd shift is I can pick it up any morning.
