You too. It's been pretty darn hot around my neck of the woods, I have to get things done early to avoid heat exhaustion.

Nice to see warm and sunny. We had a good time yesterday at my house. Thanks to Ken Howe for being a huge help in changing my tranny and diff fluids to Royal Purple. Then we put a loud mouth exhaust and MTI clear lid on Jimmy's car. All went very well and a few other freinds stopped by. We had 3 SOM SS's, two black SS's (one convertible and mine) and a read SS along with the Z06 in the driveway. I loved the look.

Morning all. Drove the SS lots yesterday. We went to a nice wedding yesterday afternoon. They even had a horse drawn carriage. Though I think the loudmouth might of scared the horse a bit.

It was "school". They didn't have the timing equipment set up. It was all about line, control, smoothness, looking ahead, etc. like an amateur Bragg-Smith. The car felt pretty good ... throttle steer seemed easier and more predictable. I also didn't notice any axle hop.
The only problem is I picked up what almost sounds like a "ratcheting" ... when hitting a bump under throttle on a sweeping corner ... I'm guessing it has something to do with the poly bushings, but I'll be spending some time underneath to make sure everything is tight and that there's no contact happening.
The big test will still be at the dragstrip.

Didn't you say you had spherical joints on one end? I have found they cause clunkiness over smaller bumps. Maybe something similiar happening there??

No clunks at all from the rod ends. I get some squeeking over speed bumps form the poly but otherwise there is no audible change. I need to hit 'em with the grease gun.
The main reason I went with the LG Motorsports stuff is that they insisted that they use a superior quality spherical joint that is suitable for the street from both a noise and durability perspective .... we shall see
