Sweet! Thanks

 

hey while we are on the subject guys, are there any other suspension upgrades available for our car?

 

Springs.Coilovers. Kinda depends on what you want to achieve(and how much you want to spend).

 

My recommendation: besides the Powell Racing "Hardcore" Bar [1 1/4"], Pedders springs, and TTR Motor mount, and possibly bigger tires[245x40x18].
That would make your SS handle about as good as you can get, and have the traction, especially if you get the Trifecta tune.
The SS, being FWD, likes a bigger rear bar, and a small [stock bar in the front.
Thats why GM ending up putting on a smaller front bar for the FE5 susp., than the FE1 and FE3 susp.. TTR engine mount takes out the major engine rock, and helps traction. You would'nt believe how much "Slop" the stock engine mount has.

The stock springs are better than pedders IMO, Unless you are running a smooth track. I couldn't find any of that where I go, and 255x40's are nice, a little more air in there to ride on. The Hardcore bar is really unbelievable, considering I had another 1" bar on there when i switched it, awesome. This affinity I have for a small margin of cush in the tires and springs isn't cause I'm old is it ?

 

how hard is it to install the motor mount?

 

It looked easy, I paid 20 to watch.

 

Easy. A 20 minute job at most.
