Mine squekeed over speed bumps. I removed the sway bar and bushings. Where the bushing was the sway bar was so shiny it looked like someone had sanded it. Well it had been sanded the slow way, sand/grit inside the bushing. I replaced the front and rear pair and lubed them up with the supplied...

Well here is my 5c worth. I did a swap from 2.59 to 3.54 about 18 months ago. The gears now whine quite a bit and I suspect they are on their way out. I had these setup by someone who has worked on C4s and built them for racing. He said they were a PITA to get in and setup. Now I see the...

I went with the expensive ones for the back of the car that are black during the day and turn reflective at night. Then ran into the same problem for the front. So I pulled the plate cover and painted inside the embossing with about 5 coats of black touchup. Then 2 coats of clearcoat touchup. It...

Mike, Yes Bilstein will rebuild and revalve your original shocks for you. Search the C4 Tech forum and somewhere in one of the threads was the phone number to call Bilstein and have them do it. I just ended buying a new set from VBP for $300 and the old ones are sitting in boxes incase I get the...

Hey Mike, I did just that. Installed the Sport version instead of the HD ones one my FE1 suspension. Given I already had over 90K mi on the original ones I expected an improvement. Sure enough. Firm ride and car doesn't flatten out like it used to. The Sport ones are supposed to be about 20%...

The 15623 comes with the mufflers clamps and hangers. Once you cut your factory pipes and drop the original mufflers. You can slide the Magnaalfows over and slip the welded on lip into the hanger. Then use the supplied stainless steel clamps to lock them down. Or just get them welded on. They...

If you have a 94 then the RPO sheet will be under the arm tray of your console bin. If you have Z51 it is marked as such. Base suspension is FE1.

I have his off-the-shelf chip in my LT1. I think it makes a difference and am very happy with Ed and his service. Graham

I have it and I cut the shroud and made some tweaks. See this thread if you're interested. http://corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23171&highlight=triple+threat It's been well over a year now and I have never had any negative effects from doing this. I recently put...

Tire 255/45-17, rim 8-9.5, typical 8.5 Tire 275/40-17, rim 9-11, typical 9.5 Tire 285/40-17, rim 9.5-11, typical 10.0 Tire 315/35-17, rim 10.5-12.5, typical 11.0 As you'll notice the typical size is usually .5" over the minimum. This appears to be true of any major brand tire I have looked at...

I just finally worn out my SZ50s after 30K mi. They are great tires. They run just as strong in the wet as they do in the dry. Not sure about the EP variation. Mine were the original SZ50s. I have no complaints other than when it is really cold out they are like rocks until you get them warmed...

Daily driver here. About 15K/yr. I enjoy it 5 days a week commuting to work. Very easy miles. An occasional weekend trip. And will do about 6-10 autox events / year. These cars were meant to be driven. But I do appreciate some of you keeping them as garage queens. That way when mine wears...

Cool! Thanks for the info. I'll check it out. I guess I'll have to add this to my Xmas list cause I already blew my play money on front end parts and tires... Graham

Hey Dave, So you finally did it huh? I figured you'd love it once you got them in. I haven't heard anyone complain about doing the gear swap yet. It sure makes that LT1 wind up like it should. I'll bet the 1st time you kicked it you had that same silly grin on your face that I did :L I've also...

I just pick it up at Pep Boys or Autozone around here. Same price as the mail order guys and no shipping charges... Graham

magmotor, Tell me more about the EASE OBD1 software/tool. How well does it work, cost, where to get it? My wife has a laptop now so I can borrow it when needed. Thanks, graham

The D36 diff is the same from everything I learned going through this. Whether you started with 2.59 or 3.07. Same carrier. They just use what they call "thick gears" to get the 3.54 and 3.73 ring and pinion to line up right. The 2-series and 3-series has to do with the VSS (speed sensor) which...

Chris, Yes I can live with the cost of the labor. His boss wanted to order GM parts and then mark them up. So I talked with him and he said I could bring my own parts in for stuff like that if I wanted. He wanted $300 for the pair of lower ball joints. I spent $168 for the pair at Carquest and...

Thanks Ernie. I actually got the ball joints at Carquest. They are TRW parts and the price was good. The Chevy dealer was going to rake me over the coals and would need 3 days to get them. The guy doing my alignment came highly recommended and has an awesome Hunter setup. He told me he'd charge...

Has anyone replaced the lower ball joints themselves. My92 has a bad one on the passenger side so I want to replace both. Difficult? Do I need special tools? If it's no biggie to do can I get the alignment reasonably close by measuring the threads when I install it so I can drive it to the...
