F-Body Europe

The only thing I have left to put on are the sub frame connectors I got from SLP. Double diamond type, bolt in. Very nice...no way in hell they will fit now. With the HAL setup in front lowering it 1.5", and the back down alittle over an inch, AND the long tube headers (which already have a nice dent !), I have NO clearance left. Seriously, my y pipe is about 3 inches off the ground. [I am currently working with the E.U. to have all speedbumps removed from Europe. I will keep you posted on my progress.] The plus side is it handles like a champ and it looks great. I think the only suspension part I haven't changed yet is the front A arms.

The only complant I have is an annoying squeak coming from the front. I only hear it when both front wheels are in transit ( i.e. a speedbump). I have tried lubing everything with 3 diffrent kinds of spray lube. I guess something in there needs some good old fashioned grease. Something might not be seated properly, either. It went away for awhile after I hit a pothole, but came back about 2 weeks later.

Really no point to this post, as if you couldn't tell.

usually what squeaks is poly urethane. did you change swaybar bushings?

Get those sub's welded. Bolting them in will cause deflection over time and will be even harder to get them true for later welding. It could just be tack welding but it's better than nothing. What header system did you go w/ to have the y-pipe hang that low on a LS1? SLP headers or Hookers? You'll get use to it over time negotiating speed bumps.

Show us some pics!

I think I will have to get some single arm subs anyway, there is just no room for boxed subs under there. I did put poly bushings in, but there was never any squeaks until I put the new shocks and springs in front. I will mess with it today some more and try to lube it right.

I have SLP LT's. I like the power and sound quality. Just have to be careful I guess. I will clean it up today and get some pics, too.

Don't feel bad- my LTs hang low too! They're fine unless I'm going over a speed bump, or a really uneven road.
