Re: the gnomes in my closet have been collecting parts =]

no pictures quite yet unless you want pictures of my parts. not doing anything else with it till I get the block back.

in other news finally installed my tl rear sway bar. ****ing sex. everyone said it makes a huge difference from stock and since I took my stock one off like a year ago the difference between the tl bar and the nothing that I had before is ridiculous. the tires on my rear are bald and the fronts are pretty much new and I can get the front to break traction stil but have yet to had the *** get squirrly on me like it used to with no sway. so all in all I'm very pleased with it. Anyone know a good upgrade for the front that I can pick up as cheap as I got the tl for? like possibly a tl front sway or something?

No point in getting a bigger or upgraded front sway bar. Our cars' FSB's are perfect in conjunction with just a thicker rear sway. See past threads.

you could get a upper strut bar
i think you can run a cl one and u can pick those up from the dealer for like $35 bucks
im not sure though on the cl part search and it will probably come up
the new fad(lol) is putting a oem cl upper strut combined with a neuspeed one

don't think i would really call it a "fad" people have been using the cl and neuspeed bar together for quite some time

Alot of it probably has to do with my tire's being cheap walmart tires and my alignment being out. All of which will be fixed by the end of the week.

fuuuck. stripped the splines out of all four lug nuts on my front pasanger wheel so when you try and tighten the lug nuts the whole stud spins instead. had to get my car towed to the school cause the wheel was soo loose and there's a posibility that my hub could be ****ed as well.
