    bought new front brakes. How'd I do?

    I'm guessing you didn't go to the pepboys in westchester in this case, they can't get much right at all.

    Suspension question

    One2gamble: I wasn't trying to bag on you, I was just posing the question. :) fwiw, when I go over large ruts in the road with my 89 with gas-adjusts it makes what I would call loud banging noises, and by no means is anything installed incorrectly that would constitute it so. The shocks...

    Suspension question

    What makes you think they are garbage? Here's a better question for you: With his stock suspension, why should he be running shocks that are firmer than something close to an oem damping shock?

    Suspension question

    To get back on topic a bit more, I think you have to seperate a few terms here. The term "firm" is completely different than "harsh", and when you are talking about KYB's, they are a soft shock (read: not firm), and they are harsh. That is what you're feeling. Go get some cheap monroe's and...

    MM Vs. Russell???

    If it was indeed made of steel, it wouldn't flex at all. The outers are steel braid, the insides are almost always teflon. Stoptech makes the lines for MM, and I wouldn't run anything else.

    suspension/chassis upgrades??

    Enough talk about the bolting in deal, honestly if you're looking for GOOD connectors, you really should only be looking at 3 places, or fabbing your own. And none of those places have bolt in connectors (Griggs, MM, GW).

    suspension/chassis upgrades??

    Go ahead and bolt them in, but get them welded in as soon as you can. Its much better than nothing at all. I personally would not buy the connectors you listed. For one, its only 14 ga steel, which in my opinion is too thin. Besides, I wouldn't trust a company that uses "ga" to advertise...

    Rear suspension

    Just an fyi for anyone reading. With the 40" bar, the lateral displacement of the axle with 2" of vertical movement either way would be .05". Thats pretty damn good...

    Do I have my alternator wired correcty?

    As long as the solid yellow wire, and yellow/black wire are both going to the right places on the regulator, it looks correct. Sorry, I don't know too much about the regulator's function and effect upon the alternator charging, but perhaps that would be something to look into as well.

    Rear suspension

    Well, discernable is up to you to decide. Without knowing the length of the Maier panhard, it's impossible to say how much the rear axle will move side to side given a certain range of vertical motion. Using some geometry, you can calculate the horizontal displacement the axle will move for...

    Rear suspension

    Ok... The purpose of a panhard bar is to locate the rear axle laterally. By design, this also defines the point about which the rear suspension will rotate (roll center). It is completely independent of the sway bar. The sway bar's function is to transfer the downward vertical force from the...
