The thread covers a lot of stuff.
I guess general tech would have been better.
Mods feel free to move.

Re: My Install Thread!! (Wheels, Pacesetters and more!)

I noticed driving around today that the rear was squeaking a little bit (From LCA's?), possibly I have to grease up the bushings more?

Got the car back from the shop.
First drive, car seemed A LOT slower. She was a lot quieter (expected) but it felt so much different.
After finally thinking about it for 2 seconds, I remembered that all the torque I had in the low end with the open headers has moved up the power band, so I floored it.
And there it was! The car definitely moved out. 30-80 came real quick, and she sure as hell burned some rubber!

I'm gonna burn off the old tires tomorrow hopefully, and then put on the new wheels!
Stay tuned for videos/Pics!

Make sure those LCAs are torqued down. Did mine in the driveway and they started backing out. Closest I could come was an '88 spec of 110 ft-lbs. I'd also use some sort of locking compound.

Re: My Install Thread!! (Wheels, Pacesetters and more!)

lmaoooo! You're gonna have to rotate those tires just to burn em all up.

I feel you though.. I still have an open diff. But that is the next thing to change.
