Thanks! No didnt install it yet. Should be pulling the old motor/trans this weekend and possibly installing the K.

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

I associate GMS with crap.. because thats what they make. Ripping off other peoples designs with lesser quality is not my idea of fun. So far from what iv seen GMS k members are doing well. Since there still fairly new im curious to see if someone who uses there car for something other than driving to the grocery store breaks the k members or not.

time will tell.

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.

Nothing better than doing the work yourself. Man the stock K members are ugly...
