So can O2 extensions for that matter... lesson learned, when you have the chance to buy a pair of better O2's for $100 vs. spending $38 on some extensions for your stock ones, you'd better do it.

Not only was my passenger side O2 sensor fouled and not doing a single thing, the extension was making a new best friend out of the header collector Evil or Very Mad stupid wires anyway

so, having said that, my "Chores" as Schultzy put them, are now complete... with the exception of my front struts, which have to wait until next week due to shop with a reasonable price being far too busy.

I was surprised with how much a pair of working O2's will improve your throttle response and all that... having never had to mess with them before, it was a learning experience.


I think my next paycheck is going to be dedicated to torque arm and swaybars...
yes...
sweet sweet swaybars.

i now have nothing to do for the rest of the day Sad

going to go with the Strano's since they also include new bushings and hardware... not to mention, they're probably the most well balanced set out of any of the options.

Spohn products for 4th gen's while nice, aren't exactly popular
UMI doesn't make sway bars and refuse to do it
and BMR can just kiss my ass Smile
the rest I'm not too keen on, Hotchkis, Edelbrock and the likes (I mean seriously, Edelbrock is an engine company first and foremost, why the hell do they do suspension at all)

Sam is also pretty informative about things so if I have problems, I can give him a ring and not worry about it

my sway bars are smaller than the stock bars on an iroc or gta ... talk about the weakest link for a newer suspension

sadly, my wires pretty much have to stay where they are...
I looked into taking all the wires on the passenger side and routing them through the wheel well, it looks clean as hell, but it doesn't seem to be that great of an idea when it comes down to it.

I'm trying to figure out how the hell to re-route the lines for my AC compressor, because changing those two rear passenger side spark plugs is a bitch and a half ... easier to do them from under the car, but it has to be in the air to do it. Sad
