5 lug update

So I've had the swap for a while now, had the chance today finally do some real back road bombing. Brakes felt unbelievably improved. The few times I had to get on them hard mid hard corner to keep from pushing into trees it was very solid, and even. Just wish my vibration would go away. I changed the rear shoes finally but I still have a high speed vibration from the rear when braking. But only when braking.

As for the springs I was disappointed, I recently got a set of sportlines and lnf shocks and struts. Feels real good, solid under we'll say moderate to a little more then moderate modulation of the suspension. But once your really start shaking it up, like in tight fast, not the smoothest roads, it gets kinda unsettled. Felt it twice and decided that was enough. Back off a little the rest of day. Guess I'll have to get a set of YYZ's when they are avalable.

Hubs, brakes, wheels. If you have abs supposedly it will no longer work. I don't have abs so I can not verify this.

I don't mind the ride from the springs I think in daily driving they are pretty good but once I started throwing the car around hard I didn't like them.
