In case you didn't put yours on yet, you are going to need to get two new bolts to hold the steering rack on, or a lot of washers. The factory ones are really long and sleeved because they go through the huge stock k member. When you put them through the PA Racing one, the nut won't get tight because it hits the sleeved part of the bolt. So buy shorter ones, or throw some washers on there.

LOL! Well its not built yet, but its on the list of things that need to be done. (the list is pretty long BTW
)Plans for it are 31/maybe 33 spline axles with the matching lockerand 3.55 gear ratio. I just need to pick up the hammer and put the nail in the coffin and buy the **** already... But its the last thing to be built on the list

michigan cars, Ugh!
My only complaint so far is I wish I would have sprung for the real coil overs. The pivot bearing in the CO kit are pretty noisy. It's at the shop now getting aligned and I'm going to grease that bearing when I get it back home to see if it takes care of the squeal. Depending on how it rides with determine on how soon we get her real coil overs.
