The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.

I sent you a PM about a week ago to see if you were still interested in trading but you never responded.  :(  Let's figure out when to do it!  :D

It's all good. I'm glad you got to spend some time with your son. They get big waaaaaaay too fast.

I'm good with any time after about 1 on Saturday afternoon or after about noon on Sunday. What works good for you?

Yeah I understand that, they were going to be my style until Ruwaldo said he wanted the EMPI style wheels rather than his :-)

So I just confirmed that I have to get Link Pin shocks for the new beam I have coming. Now I'm trying to decide what is going to be the best way to finally put this all together. Right now I have 2 1/2" drop spindles on the car but I still have my old stock ones. Should I keep the drop spindles, install the new beam and get stock length shocks or should I go back to the stock spindles, install the new beam and get shocks for a lowered car? I haven't ordered shocks yet so all options are still open.  ::)

Well, you paid for the drop spindles so might as well use them. Also, you don't need to get lowered shocks unless you plan on going lower; matter of fact if you got lowered shocks and didn't go lower they wouldn't fit so well. If I had the cash and wanted to run stock shocks, I would get Billsteins.
