The Grond Chronicles : GM Racing T1 swaybars installed [Dialup Death]
 

So I installed the monster GM Racing C5-R T1 swaybars and heim jointed metal end links. It was a real bear to install alone because the front bar is so heavy!!

Well it took me a while but I got the front and rear T1 sways and metal end links on.

Just took it for a high speed blast through some really rough and broken twisties and it handles like a champ - it will shake your fillings loose but it feels like a full blown race car now.

"On Rails" do not even begin to describe the experience - steering is lightening fast and it goes exactly where you point it instantly without being darty and spooky. The combination of shortened and revalved DRM coilovers and T1 sways is just what I wanted. Next I have to get it corner balanced and aligned.

Grond handles like it's glued to the road with velcro!! I love it :D

Here are the obligatory pictures.

DANG Dude.. You have one heck of a car. Can I borrow some ca$h???

Seriously man, nice quality stuff there. :thumbs:

Money Tree is running low right about now. i need to put in some more overtime :willy:

Looking good there Stephen! I still can't get over how big that front bar is. I have never seen anything like it. I want a set!

See ya around!

Rick

now the suspension, trans, diff, line lock, trans cooler, navi, wheel bearings are out of the way............. :leaving:
NICE INSTALL :thumbs:

Next stop - new engine along with a mystery mod :D

:seeya Rick

I think you might like it with your current suspension. With the transverse leaf it will not be as firm and will probably corner flat while giving a very comfortable ride. I bought mine from Randy at DRM :thumbs:

Stephen :cheers:

:cool: :cool: :thumbs:

Nice set up :thumbs: But I'll take the Bud Light anytime. :D :cheers:

I hear you man. I've got 10 grand for my $30,000 mod dreams. :cheers:

while :
do
----mod
----if [ $wife = "pissed" ]
----then
--------exit 1
----fi
----if [ $bank -eq 0 ]
----then
--------exit 1
----fi
done
print "satisfied"

Cool

Give us a hint :D

Nice job on the install and congrats on the ECS drivetrain installation. How does the new trans and gearing feel? :cheers:

WTF does all this mean?

so you figured it was worth it for the $$ you spent on the suspension?

look cool .. and those bars are thick! .. congrats man.

Means that I will continue to mod forever until either my wife gets pissed or I have no money left... Oh and can never be satisfied....ever....


















(and that I am a dork) :willy: :conehead

Wow, that's some serious stuff! :eek: :thumbs:
Congrats on the install and nice job with the pics! :cheers:

:cool:

If you cut code (computer code, that is) you will know what it means. It's geek talk - I can relate :D

Looks good. Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow! You must have been a bit chilly! 33 deg's when I left work at 5:30. When did you put them in?
