Friend of ours and the owner tinkered with it a while the other day.
He's very happy so far with the response and feel.

Tell him that the charger patrol car that flashed his headlights at him in Argo this evening was just saying hi. Does he live on this side of town?? Wish I could have caught him at a gas station or something to check it out. It looked even better in person!

Either he's installed hydraulics and was hitting the switches when he went by or that thing rides like a wagon!! Man! It was doing some bouncing.

He has some very still coilovers and I too think it's too low... you should have felt it before I got to the front...they were not installed correctly, no spacers between the coilover tops and the caster/camber plates... it wouldn't budge and wouldn't steer either!

He lives in the Argo area, yes. Brad... pull him over next time and tell him I said to do it! His name's Tony Metcalf and he's as good as they get.

Update on this car: He has put a couple hundred miles on it... everything flawless...

until...

He was driving down 280 last week and started to get a popping and misfiring. All gauges were fine so he coasted it to a stop. After hauling it to a friend's shop, they found it severly out of time for some reason. Pulled the distributor and found that it had chewed the gear off the cam! The distributor gear was fine...which is unusual becasue it is usually the sacrificial piece here... Not sure if it had to do with an oil pump problem or incompatible gear hardness yet... Hasn't been pulled apart to see the real extent of the damage either. He is not happy to say the least. It will be down for a little while.
