Got the alignment done. Camber was -1.5 so I put in the camber bolts. With +1 adjustment it should be at -.5 on both sides. I love the way the car rides. It's lower but still smooth. Cornering is more noticeable. Love the car much more now.
On a side note my exhaust seems to be getting louder. I'm thinking the packing has been blown out or is on its way out. Cool either way.
I took it in for a wash today. I do not like the thought of putting it away but I feel the end is coming soon. I'm surprised I was able to run it this long.
I'm thinking my wife may have purchased a mod for Christmas but I'm not sure what. I've been hinting at sequential lights so maybe.

The wife picked up some sequential tail lights. Not the normal plug and play set that I've been looking at. She said she read that the LED set was better. That's what she picked out from American Muscle. OMG I'm Stoked!
Plus a dead petal plate, AM t-shirt and a 50 dollar credit to American Muscle. Just wow.

Not as easy to hook up as I thought it would be but I got it done. There is not a lot of room for the electronics to sit. It looks cool when they flash.

I've had both of these mods

Went from regular sequential to the LED sequentials to the Raxiom 13-14 ones.

Love them both

I'll just leave this here. I polished all the Chrome with aluminum foil. Made it nice and shiny.

I've installed an Alpine receiver (Alpine CDE-HD148BT) and 4 JBL GX862 5"X7" OR 6"X8" 180W 2-WAY speakers in the car. It sounds good so far but could use a little more power to make the speakers work. I'm waiting on a KTP-445A - Alpine 4-Channel amp to round out the system at 45 watts RMS power by 4 channels. I'm hoping this will do the trick without adding a subwoofer.
I would like a SA-8 V.3 D4 - Sundown Audio 8 500W RMS Dual 4-Ohm SA Series Subwoofer but as Nathan says it would probably make the car rattle.

I installed the amp yesterday afternoon. I was unsure where I was going to mount it at first. But then I found a spot that it fit into right in the stereo console frame work. Plugging it in was easy enough the sound gain at first didn't sound that great at first because I lost my sound settings when I unplugged the stereo. Luckily I had the settings created in my phone with the Alpine EQ app.
It's got enough bass and sound depth to make me happy. Enough to make the doors vibrate. The amp improved the sound all the way through. The highs are no longer over powering. DB settings on the Alpine are a must, fine tuning the speakers makes a big difference. This is definitely something I've never done before other than bass and treble. I'll get better at it as I experiment with it.
I picked the stereo up at Crutchfield. I picked the speakers off of eBay and I got the amp off of Sears shopping online. All came at a great savings and in new condition. I also used 5x7 speaker baffles from Crutchfield. I ended up cutting 1 inch holes in the back of them for movement. I'm rethinking of doing the baffles in the doors again to reduce vibration.
All in all I'm very pleased
