didnt take pics of the parts on the car, didn't feel like it, but panhard bar and control arms:

found not the master build sheet like i had thought, but the "accessory/trim" sheet in like new condition:

Tires:

tried to take a vid of the sequentials with the leds but the stupid camera makes the light look completely orange...which sucks because they are red led bulbs, no white at all :banghead:

car handles nice with the sfc's. not a "night and day" difference but noticeably tighter and alot less squeaking from dash and ttop areas, especially over rough roads.

SFC's are worth it just for the jacking points. It's so nice just being able to roll the jack under the car anywhere along the rocker, then raise it up.

-got some front springs from a dude off of craigslist...he also gave me these aluminum strut mounts that he had on his car for about a month he said...got the springs and strut mounts for 120...have to get a pic..yal think aluminum strut mounts are good? he couldnt remember what the brand was and no part number was on it.
-Got the same bf goodrich tires for the front in 245.
-Might order a STB from UMI.
-converting reverse lenses to taillights so i will have 3 sequential bulbs and im trying to mount some "custom" reverse lenses in the black end panels.

It probably depends on how solid the car was in the first place. My IROC feels like it's pretty well put together... no shimmies, squeaks, rattles, or other funny business. My GTA feels like a Sunbird convertable over bumps. Moral of the story: SFCs would probably make a far more noticable improvement on my GTA than on my IROC.

yup just a bulb swap...well they have to go into the socket one way..i.e. if you put it in and it doesn't light up, take it out and flip it around so the contacts on the bulb match the ones on the socket. only part that sucked was when i put the cluster back in, and had to pull it back out to swap the bulbs i had put in wrong

I also like the LED dash. Do you have any idea what the part numbers are, or if I can order them from your friend??
