Belltech Coilovers finally here!!
Hell to the yeah. I was waiting for these to come out when you posted that something was in the works. Once I pull my life savings, I will be pulling the trigger on a set. Some dumb questions as well: Lowering 3" ft, would it be best to lower 4" rear for a leveled stance? Will my front axles...- mooman

Shake it up
I see it now. That wobble reminds me of my wobble I had, but only during cornering. it was a wob, wob, wob, wob, wob. A new wheel bearing fixed it. Next time when you have time, pull off the wheel, caliper and bracket, and get it down to the hub. Sometimes the weight of the wheel can mask the...- mooman

Looking for all seasons that don't suck in snow
Siping is where a tire shop will make slits cross direction on the tire. It increases traction by introducing "biting edges". I see it benefiting wet traction and snow traction, but at the expense of dry traction. -
Looking for all seasons that don't suck in snow
40psi. I never assumed to max out the air pressure on tires. Interesting, I might have to do that again. I really liked the tko2's. -
Looking for all seasons that don't suck in snow
Firestone Destination AT. Great light/deep snow traction. Wet traction suffers a little bit but still pretty good. Sadly, the tire performed the best from new 12/32 to about 8/32. Anything after the tire is complete junk. Michellin LTX Defenders are okay, but really expensive. Great all... -

Lowered rear, arms and brackets vs custom fab
The rear is a solid axle. The angle doesn't change of the incoming driveshaft angle. All of the brackets that I know of, move the shock absorbers down for a bit more travel, the panhard keeps the axle under the car vs shifting it out to one side. The springs brings the axle closer to the body...- mooman

Sawzall. Mine were siezed and a sawzall blade is skinny enough to cut through between the mounting plate and the bushing.- mooman

Looking for a smoother ride....shocks
Depending on age of vehicle, you would be surprised changing out bushings that connect suspension parts to frame. I have the 4600 HD and at first I thought they were too stiff, seeing that the smallest bumps were felt and it was interior rattling. When I dealt with it for years until I decided...- mooman

Catch Can disappointment pics inside
Um,I believe you have the hoses backwards. The air needs to condense at the filter from the PCV, drop down into the can, and then the air sucked up through the side into the IM.- mooman

Oil Pressure ?
I am about the same. 19-22psi(I guess) at idle and 40psi when cruising once engine is hot. It just jump based on load on the engine, and when it is cold, I get 40psi and 60psi when cruising.- mooman

Gauge needle starting point
Correct. The best way to "zero" them is to put down tape and mark their "zero". Once you made your repair, re-align those needles. If you were like me who didn't put tape down, be sure to have a scanner with some sort of live-graph data log. Then, run the car and set the needles close to the... -

Random pull to LEFT OR RIGHT when braking.
When you installed the new calipers last year, did you grease the slide pins? New hardware? I have been greasing my caliper slide pins every other year or so. The grease dries up. Also, when it is pulling when braking, the caliper is stuck in the open position forcing the brake fluid to the...- mooman
