Did you get the tires from Mattias as well ? I like the choice of tire size too, has a nice meaty look without being over the top.
What more do you need to do to this thing ? Looks like you have most of the kinks worked out.
No I got the tires locally. They are little fatter than I thought they'd be, but they ride really nice. I noticed better braking, handling, and the steering feels easier at parking lot speeds. I've never had Goodyear tires on anything, but so far I'm pretty impressed.
I have a few more things I'd like to do to it. I still have a brake issue coming from the rear where I have to pump the brakes up to get full pedal. Also because its lowered I'm having a drive line vibration because the pinion angle is off. I don't really see a way to make any adjustable arms with the early rear end set up.
I'm seriously considering installing an 8.8 4:10L. That should fix the brake issue and I could make adjustable arms to fix the pinion issue, and I've done it before. The biggest hurdle this time will be adapting the weird stamp steel torque rods in the rear, but I think I've figured out a solution to that.
Here is my mental pros and cons on installing an 8.8:
Pros
1. Stronger rear end that I can beat on without worrying about breaking
2. Service parts are more available
3. Price-It's cheap $135.75 at Pull-A-Part and there are a ton of them down there
4. Comes with a locker. Stock rear end lockers/limited slips are hard to find and expensive
5. Same wheel bolt pattern as stock
6. Disc brakes
7. It's wider and will space the wheels out in the rear, which I think it needs.
8. Adjustability with custom built arms
Cons
1. It's hard to do. Probably a months worth of weekends.
2. Weight- It's heavy, I'd say double the weight of a stock rear end.
*Weight really isn't much of an issue for me. I'm building a street car, not a race car
3. Drive shaft mounting-Not too big of an issue, but it is something that would need to be sorted out.
I'm pretty much set on doing this. Maybe the first of the year
