Stiglitz overhaul.
Alright, the new season for roofing is beginning soon. Which means back to work for me, and I am going to be stashing a lot of money for vehicle overhauls.
Laundry list.
Exhaust, full.
Upgraded air intake, GMPP?
SS suspension, need shocks and struts. Have the Springs.
Sway bar/s.
What I am looking for are recommendations for brands of items that I need to do the upgrades.
Free mods.
Gutting the back of the wagon.
No more plastic tire box area, no more back seat.
Maybe cut the carpet out of the back seat to right behind the front seats.

Roofing, I thought you were in security ?? I was just in your neck of the woods for a Dealers meeting in Piqua. I have been a Dealer for Classic Metal Roofing, Isaiah Industries, for 14 years. They make some fine products about 10miles up the road.
I can tell you that the fe5 with fe5 struts is a little stiff. I liked them better with fe3 struts in them, it sat 1/2" inch lower and road smoother. I think you already know the answer to a sway bar...
I now have switched the springs to YYZv1 with fe3, really doesnt need a bar the springs work so well.

I want to take out the insides for a lighter weight. I only have me and one other passenger on RARE occasion. As for the S/C I don't have the money or the skills to add one. :|
Sam, I was in Security, but if you got paid $7.40/hr to carry a gun for a company, you would have quit too, and found a new job.
As for the gutting of the back, I kinda want it to look uniform in the rear. No carpet for the entire thing. Yes I know it's not that much carpet, but it couldn't hurt to keep it uniform until I figure out something to do with a naked rear end of the vehicle. As "sleeper" has said many times, weight is everything. That is a little bit of weight to be removed, which could equal a little bit more acceleration!
