UMI claims about 25lbs but I know other companies say as much as 32lbs or so but the UMI one is the only one on the market really designed for everyday driving and I have never heard or seen of one breaking so I opted for the heavier and safer one IMO.

Nice Jeff! I guess my winter project was buying the car, I just ordered polished Z06 rims & tires they will be here friday or monday. Of course I'll post pics when they get on the bird.

yeah. . bushings like the front one and like rear control arms should be torqued at ride height so they are centered in the "normal" position. When you torque them in the air they will always be twisted when loaded causing excessive wear and tearing.

Larry you have any rear bolts and nuts? Mine went to a customer car who's where rusted and didn't come out in one piece, and now I need to get my k-member backin my car and have no bolts

Meh, I don't think my dad is that concerned about what everyone else has... he went with what he liked and thought looked good.

no, sorry
I take it they were rusted to the sleeves?

jeff, spray the center nut on the struts with wd40 or something too. They never comeoff when you want to change struts. I normally put greese or antiseeze in that upper mount when I change struts or anything cause most of the time you have to cut the nut off and/or replace the mount

**DETROITMUSCLE** · February 3rd, 2009, 10:09 PM

Yeah I noticed it looked rusted to hell and plan on soaking it a bit so down the road it may have a chance of coming off.
