I bought my old 93 Z28 back, now it needs some TLC

[mcalus]

Looks like that Y-pipe fits up nice!

It sure does!! Thank you again.

Got the springs and upper a arms sprayed. Got the old ball joints out too, they were still in great shape but the boot was ripped on both so I figured I could add it to the "why not" fund lol.

I could of spent a lot more time prepping these but no one will ever see them.

What's the real difference in these shocks?

Which should I get? What sucks is I wanted to just get the fronts now but I would be saving $50 buying them all together. Which isn't horrible but if I know I'll be buying them in a month...

Sounds like the one is spongier than the HD ones.

Good question. I cannot for the life of me remember which ones I bought. Search on tech bilstein vs bilstein slp or something like that. I remember I found a couple threads that explained the difference, and guys who had both were chiming in telling how the cars rode a little differently.

[mcalus]

Anyone else know which bilsteins to go with? I guess they aren't recommended with lowering springs that they should be revalved. Suggestions?

I'm getting a bit frustrated with probuilt automatics. How hard can it be to throw my kit in a box and ship it out? I didn't have s problem sending my $604!!!

How come you didnt have your trans builder do all the work? He didnt have a 700r4 build kit in stock?

He does it on the side, he asked that I supply the kit. A lot of guys recommended Performabuilt, which doesn't sell kits and the other top referred was Dana at probuilt.

[mcalus]

Talked to Dana, kit was supposed to be shipped yesterday at the latest... didn't receive a email. I'll be calling again Monday.

Cleaned up the trans:
Before:




After:



I'm going to get some better degreaser and a few new wire brushes and take it to the car wash. Still needs a lot of cleaning.

If you had to choose springs, vogtland or BMR?

Making progress.

[mcalus]

Making progress.

Thank you

Bought some brand new BMR lowering springs tonight

Turned 75 hours last week so I'll be picking up my upper ball joints, ordering my front shocks and possibly ordering my stall

[mcalus]

Today is a good day.

The trans kit shipped! Anddd.... Got my springs, picked up my bjs, got the right header bolts.
