Post by: capitlj on July 14, 2006, 01:04:39 PM
I'm excited the cat rides like  b/c the guy i bought it from put ac delco dampers at all four corners i just bought a set of sensatrac ones from napa who is btw running a buy 3 get one free deal till the end of this month.  I'm stoked to see how it rides with new stuff under it.  Oh and i'll be changing the oil to royal purple 20w50 too i'll let you guys know how that stuff is.

The cat rides like my buddies stang now and now the 265s almost never rub.  Handling performance easily doubled, on top of the tires i think i may start to turn this thing into an autocrosser. It handles very well for a really heavy car.  Hmmmm now all thats left is everything coilovers, tubular control arms, caster camber plates, sway bars, and big brakes.  I get a pretty sweet deal on royal purple because i work at napa.  And so far no complaints.  But the jack did slip and bend my diff cover so now im leaking gear lube but very little.
