UPS Came today!!! (PICS)
UPS came today and brought my Johnny O'Connell Stage 1 suspension upgrade from PFADT! I've been waiting on these things for 3 months as the shocks have been on back order. Can't wait to get them on the car! They sent me a Johnny O'Connell carbon fiber badge (I included a pic) Do any of you have any suggestions on where you might put the badge? I was thinking under the hood somewhere but wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone had a good idea. Thanks in advance guys!
shocks and sway bars

carbon fiber badge (where should I put it?)
better look at shocks
2002 Coupe M6 I will be putting them on

Sweet. Good luck with the install! I think I'd ditch the badges.

Isn't it good feeling when you come home to a box filled with goodies for your car?

I love coming home to new parts!! The guys at PFADT were great about the whole experience. They even sent me a shirt and a bunch of PFADT Racing decals while I waited for my shocks.

Not a bad idea.....I was thinking maybe somewhere under the hood by the washer fluid or something...but ashtray lid is an option

Very Nice-I have that setup on my vette and love it. Much flatter in the corners. And don't put the badge on the car.

Did you have to do a lot of adjusting on your sway bar end links to get it dialed in?

I dialed mine down about 2/3 of the way. When I installed them two months ago. Minor adjustments from there. Noticed an immediate difference from the stock Z51 sway bars. Finally got my shocks today...whoo whoo! I know what I'll be doing this weekend!
