And a few wrenches.


‘iight’ <-- really, what is this?

I could see if the sway bar was keeping the front end from coming up, but the sway bars purpose its to try and keep the lower control arms parallel around corners so the body does not roll, on straight acceleration both control arms should drop down evenly and the sway bar will rotate with the control arms. Becides, were talking about a 15 second street car. No offence Kid Racer buit its not like its a 9 second SS/DA camaro with ladder bar suspension and 15" slicks carrying the front wheels over the 60' mark. I dont think you will benifit from weight distribution.

When I was 17-18 I had my 91 RS and my father was the service manager at Vale Pontiac, if you remember that place, every saturday I would bring my car in and try and tweak it and work on it with what little money i had after spend the rest of my $100 week paycheck on my GF and beer and Id always ask the mechanics how to better my car, you know what the respoonce i always always always got was, "you like your car? Leave it alone" of course my stubborness and arogance prevailed and I did everyting in my budget possible to that thing, sold it for much less than i put into it and financed a LS1 and said to myself, "Damn, i waisted so much time and money, i should of just left my RS alone" then i said "Damn, i turned into one of those mechanics", damn! Do it man, rip that baby apart, your just dieing to, do it, learn how teh rest of us did... LOL


YEahhhhhhhhh Boyyyyysss
