Yes, my doors don't clunk any more, well worth the $16. This is what I used.

Thanks I'll definitely check it out. My concern with a V8 is that the torque may be too much for a t-top car.

No, its not.

Awesome, good to know. I'm looking at an LS4/F40 swap.

I finished up the dynamat today, and the new carpet came in


Also, I got new wheels/tires, but when I went to mount them, I discovered that the studs are too short.

More to follow.



Where did you send the seat belts to? I've been wanting to do this but all the information I've seen says that it's difficult to still have a functioning retractor afterwards.

I sent them to a place in Massachusetts called safety restore, e everything seems to be fine.

Can anyone recommend a set of rotors that are bigger than stock that don't require modification?

Something like this 13" brake rotor kit?


13" rotor upgrade that allows you to retain the stock calipers, parking brake and parking brake cables. It is a bolt on installation w/o any other modifications to the upright or a-arms for proper clearance. It does require 17" wheels, use with lowering ball joints is not recommended due to interference issues, and longer braided stainless steel brake hoses are typically used as well.

Yes, something like that. What are those pieces of hardware shown with the rotors?

Well, I got the new seat belts put in. I also installed the new carpet on the passenger side, but with the dynamat and the stock carpet underneath, it is too thick, so I can't get the trim pieces to line up properly. Unfortunately I am going to have to remove it. The carpet listed for sale in the mall.
