I have a Glock 23 .40 with one of the first releases of Tritium night sights. Sweet piece, well balanced and only 32 pieces to the puzzle. Go Glock.

Krambo, I like how you left the bowtie chrome. Thanks for the tip! My ultimate intent is to paint the centercaps. I'm just trying not to rush the guy doing it. I want it to look good, but ultimately if I had to buy a new set of centercaps and start over, that wouldn't be the end of the world. In hindsight you always think of things you would do differently. A little more planning should have gone into the centers but when I dropped them off, the apprentice for the shop took in my order and made it sound like no big deal to match them... We'll see. Now I need to put on the Baer kit, those red calipers would look sweet back there. Also, thanks for the feedback on needing more black. The lame black trim around my brake ducts is starting to flake off, so I think I see some black ducts in my future and a black grille too. As for the yellow goodyears... with all due respect Big O to you and your Camaro, I'm sure it looks hot, all I can think of is Dodge Dakota

That looks really tough man! I like that. Strong work.

Ouch... tough crowd out there. I'm working on getting them matched. We'll see. Thanks for the candid feedback though LOL!

LOL! Good stuff. The covers wll fit according to the guy that painted them. I had him test that and he said they did although they were pretty snug. I am gonna work on painting deez nutz , picked up some paint cans yesterday.

I thought about that but they already did one and they are still at the paint shop... so I'm kind of stuck. I don't know that the pics do it justice anyway. The paint is a matte/satin DARK grey with a tiny bit of metal flake. I may stop by the shop tomorrow and see what a chrome cap would look like.

There is a ton of great information in here about lowering a vehicle. Read up in the suspension section. I'm not sure what the hot set up is for a 2WD vehicle. When I did mine (AWD) McGaughys was the way to go. Spindles up front will drop your front end but keep all of your geometry very close to factory. You will have rubbing, there isn't much that you can do about that and really, it isn't a big deal.

Be careful using the word redneck when you are from Montana and have mudflaps... Ahem... To address the question of the post though... I don't think going with a smaller diameter up front is going to solve your problem, you are talking less than an inch. Where are you rubbing? Down low or up high in the wheel well? Let's do it right, throw some spindles on there and cut the inner plastics where needed.

Yeah, it was only $450, which he is gonna knock down to $400.00 since he is having problems with the centercaps.

The place that I had do the wheels is having a tough time matching the center caps since the caps are plastic and can't take a powder coat. I am seriously considering leaving them off though; I kind of like the race look that it has. Kinda NASCAR-ish. Thoughts? Thanks again to Posi12bolt for the good deal on the wheels/tires!

1. My steering wheel knock is now the worst that it has ever been. Fix: Taking it in tomorrow (Thursday) to have the new stroke fix. Service advisor said he would do it under warranty. 2. Serious front diff. whine that seems to worsen each day. Fix: Gonna pump out the old and pump in some fresh synth. this weekend. And to top it off... 3. Come out of work tonight to see a nice pool of the sweet tasting water under my truck. Fix: Drive it into the local river if not covered under warranty. I am so frustrated with this thing right now... 40,000 miles and all this to deal with. I fully expect to find shavings in the front end sufficient to skewer small pets and I already had a water pump failure at about 3k miles so I am hoping that will be covered under warranty.

Surprisingly 28"

Hey all, Looking for some input on which might be quieter. I have a Flow 70 and I spend a lot of time on my cell phone while driving (traveling salesman); the cabin noise from the exhaust is getting old. Thoughts? Should I just throw some Dynamat in it? Thanks!
