Hi gang!

Finished my wife's car today. Even got a compliment as to how awesome it looked! I have vacation coming up in 3 weeks, so I will do my Camaro and Dakota that week, if I don't think of something better to do.

A few months ago, I installed FE4 SS front and rear sway bars and new, OE end links. Let me start by saying it was a definite upgrade in performance with these pieces! Before the switch, the rear of the car always seemed to want to swing around when cornering hard. If definitely leaned more! After installing the FE4 pieces, the rear felt much more planted, but the front seemed to plow. I expected it to be much firmer. I can't install the SS springs on FE2 struts and shocks, so I had to think of another fix.

I think I've got it dialed in now, or at least have taken a step in the right direction. I raised the front tire pressure to 37 PSI and left the rears at 36 PSI. Feels much more balanced now, like the front is not plowing. I wanted to push the car harder, but my son was riding with me and he gets scared when I corner hard. But so far, it does feel better.

Since I'm off tomorrow, I'm going to give the Camaro a bath.
