    well guys, she lives for another year!

    GTX is out of the garage as of two weeks ago, driving nicely, no weird issues as of yet.

    still have to attempt adjusting the suspension to get rid of some of the bounce. have a small noise still from one of the brakes. other than that she's doing well!Click image for larger version

              Hey, I am just adding to the thread to keep this forum alive. Good to see your car out and running! I just replaced the oil pan gasket/sealer and gonna hit the road again soon myself.

              What suspension is on that car? I see some guy selling adjustable top hat parts, for the front only. I need to integrate new suspension in my car.

                i got in touch with some guys that helped me out from the GTX group. i have ground control coil overs with custom shock setup, 4-way adjustable. rear has custom camber plates and the front has normal mounts. its basically from what i can tell just a normal shock insert type setup, i can show pictures if you want to see details

                i feel that pain, my original shocks were totally shot, the 2 of the springs were broken in two when we took it all off. it was a nightmare

                        i haven't seen another set like this out there yet, it was something someone did custom a bunch of years ago i would guess. that and it was literally the only option when i realized i needed to replace my upper mounts

                            i think they are solid, to be honest i cant remember when i put them in last year, i was too damn excited to just get something in the car at that point. it spent most of the summer on jackstands in my driveway
