    Coilovers in a convertible install

    Thanks for help on this.... I've gotten the suspension dialed in and right! The sway bar end links were lose and were causing quite the vibration and clunking going over any bumps - got that sorted out easy and it's a joy to drive now!

    Coilovers in a convertible install

    I was going to try messing around with some of the different settings on the coilovers to see if that changes the ride quality at all. The other thing that I'm realizing is that my rear suspension is quite squeaky, so I'm guessing all of the suspension bushings are shot too.... But that seems...

    Coilovers in a convertible install

    Well I finally finished up the job in the last few weeks.... In hindsight - it was more work than I really appreciated. Getting the coilovers set up to the right height was a lot of work - jacking up by hand and removing the wheels each time to make an adjustment was the hardest part. It's a...

    How do my cams look?

    Super helpful - thanks for sharing. There were no modifications to the car when I bought it outside of a super short multimedia unit, so I'm going to guess this was not on the list of work done to the car. If I ever go for new cams I'll definitely think to add this to the list too.

    How do my cams look?

    That's what I thought too but my eyes are very uneducated on the subject. It's a 5th owner car so I definitely went gambling a little bit.

    That I do not know. It has the new later head design with the brown coil boots.

    How do my cams look?

    I did blow out what I could but there was 20 years of grim that collected against the valve cover gasket. I'll run the cams with wd40 to clean em off. I'm sure the oil filter will catch it all that's falls into there.

    How do my cams look?

    Took off my valve covers off my 130k GT/CS to do a bright red wrinkle coat and get them looking pretty... How do you think my cams looks? Some where but all in doesn't look too bad I think? Theres some where in the loves, and the very small discoloration on the ends appears to be a bit of...

    Coilovers in a convertible install

    Love yours too! I ended up going with: SR performance coil overs from American muscle. I talked with one of the sales agents and these had lower spring rates than others models and would be better for daily driving. Probably overkill, but the ability for adjustment and Id like to think I could...

    Coilovers in a convertible install

    Thanks! Any recommendations? A few sets I've been looking at people say the spring rates are too high and it's uncomfortable for daily use... The V1 sr performance ones are lower spring rate which is what drew me to them. Thanks.... Greatly appreciated. I'll plan to play around with it or see...

    Coilovers in a convertible install

    I have a 2008 GT convertible - California special package. I had two questions I'm looking for input on: 1) I've heard there some extra complications of installing coil overs on a convertible, but can't seem to find any details or videos of what those are - anyone know of any or have any first...

    How do my spark plugs look?

    They didn't! All but one came out real easy... 1 was pretty snug but some wd40 loosened it right up.

    How do my spark plugs look?

    Thanks - yea I took my shop vac and blew everything off with the back end of it, but I think I'm learning the car was stored outside for some time. There was a bunch of debris that had gone in past the coil boots Good deal - k used brass, hopefully that's soft enough.... If not, too late now haha

    How do my spark plugs look?

    That's highly relieving. I was worried that was metal and my engine was about to unalive itself!

    How do my spark plugs look?

    That's what I was thinking too - I hate just throwing money at cars. Speaking of... I got curious as what carbon buildup in the engine looked like and put an endoscope down into one of the cylinders and I don't think I liked what I found.... Anyone have any ideas what that the silver bits could...

    How do my spark plugs look?

    Just picked up a 2008 gt/CS with 130k miles (with the later head). No idea how many miles on the spark plugs - how do you think these look? Plenty of miles left on em Or swap em?
