    Whats gonna give more bang for the $$$?

    Sorry, i dont quite understand the question. Are you asking which one is best to get, upper control arms, or lower control arms? If so, i think lower control arms would make the most difference. Good to have both though. -GM

    suspension??

    I suggest getting new spring isolators (i think that's what they're called). They're the pieces that fit over and under the spring so that it isn't directly rubbing the control arm. If yours are stock i'm sure they're shot to pieces, mine were/are. Also if you have the money this is the...

    Can I learn to port with this?

    The standard abrasives website is awesome! Thanks! Still wondering though, should i get one with the 90 degree angle? I would think i would want the straight one, but i dont know much about it. Also, will the geometry of a head for an ATV engine or like a weed-wacker or leaf blower motor be...

    Can I learn to port with this?

    Thanks for the links! I really dont know what i'm getting into so, is it best to use one with the 90angle head or non? Do the air-opperated tools have an advantage over electric? Thanks a lot, -GM

    Clunk!! Is my rear going out?

    Well i'm getting a little worried about some noise my car is making. Like lets say i'm cruising doing 55, and the speed limit changes to 45. So i leave the car in 5th and let it gradually slow down to 45. Then when i get back on the gas sometimes there is a clunk. I think its comming from...

    Shocks

    I run lakewood 50/50s in the back, 90/10 for the front. I like them. I'm not too picky with ride quality but it feels fine on the street to me. Easily controled, not too bouncy. -GM

    Thanks, i'll definitely keep you guys posted. I MIGHT go to the track this saturday...i gotta check and see if my brother or anyone else will go with me (bit of a drive). The 90/10s definitely let the car come up compared to stock and still ride pretty good in my oppinion. I'm not too picky...

    Rear Sway Bar? Needed?

    Hmm.... I drove it around a good bit already and it feels fine to me. I can see where it would be a problem if i was cutting donuts or trying to zoom around corners, but for ordinary driving...i dont see a problem. Thanks for the replies though. So cornering is the only thing it has much to...
