I'm installing a new clutch on my 99

Spec 3+
Spec Flywheel
Z06 master and slave cylinder
Tick performance remote bleeder
exhaust bung for my wideband sensor


Can you guys think of any other little doo-dad mods that I might need to do while I have all of those parts out?

axle seals might not be a bad idea. Theyre easy to do while its all out. May also consider torque tube bushings, not quite as easy as the seals however....

I'm guessing you already picked up a new pilot bearing.

That brings up a good topic...What sway bar and shocks are you running?

I will be at the drag strip and motoring around town

I still have stock on myself, but when i do my H/C I will problably go with C6 Z06 shocks and the C5Z06 sways with metal endlinks. I have heard a lot of good things about that combo. Not too stiff of a sway bar, but makes the car feel much better than stock.
