Fooking car feels awesome. And I luv the stance. Just a bit lower, but not scraping everywhere.

Saw your car there when I dropped off my car.

Got almost the same mods with a little bit more :)

Needs an alignment now. Did you align your car at Marks?

Yes....Mark went ahead and dialed in the alignment. :cheers:

Took advatage of Mark's deal:

H&R Race springs, Bilstein HD Shocks/Struts, MM C/C plates, and MM Panhard bar.

Plus Mark had his exhaust shop custom fab some new stainless steel over-the-axle tail pipes cause my magnaflow pipes would not allow the PH bar to fit properly. I crawled underneath the car today to look at the work done and I have to say it is tits. They did a bang up job with the exhaust. I was expecting my old pipes chopped up and re-routed, but no.....brand new from scratch pipe set up. :cheers:

I take some pics tomorrow.

That's awesome about the new exhaust pipes. Mine wouldn't clear my PH bar so I went with dumps. I want my tail pipes back. :sad:

Happy you like it Marcello.

I got to drive her back to Tujunga and it was almost like being in the Angel again, just with more power.

I <3 Marcello's Mach.

Oh and Ren, if you want tailpipes, my exhaust dude can make something for you. I agree. Your red beasty NEEDS EM.

That exhaust guy did some awesome work. Your car is extremely nice Marcello, and now the suspension completes the package :cheers:.

Thanks Sean, the exhaust tips are a bit mis-aligned but Mark said he will adjust them later.

They are misaligned due to the guide pins being different size on your magnaflow stuff, but yeah, thought it would be better to get the tip off your bumper like it was when it came in.

Do you have 4 control arms in the rear still?

get ready to start replacing the upper control arm diff mount bushings on an oil change rotation if you drive the car hard!

what lower control arms do you have? If you have good ones, now would be a good time to trade out the rear springs for MM T/A springs, pull an upper control arm, and enjoy a PM3L setup :angel:

get the MM LCA's next, marcello. MM says there is some bind with just a PH bar but that it's not enough to offset the benefit. i am running the MM ph bar with a 4 link and my bushings are still in pretty good shape and I drive that bitch hard.

there's so much bind that when I had the rear up but hanging and removed the 4th arm, the rear settled a solid 2"s, it was that bound up at full droop.

3 link drives so much better than a 4 bind, my upper control arm bushings looked like this after 3 months -

granted I probably drive the car harder than most people here, I also broke 2 stock rear swaybars on the SRA setup on my `97, and I've only put 10k miles on the car total :rofl:
