ProKit today, Z1 Tomorrow!

So I was hoping to install the Eibach ProKit and Z1 Aluminum Drive Shaft, both, today. But after messing around with the damn springs for 6 hours, that is as far as I got (pics come tomorrow!).

Hoping to get the Z1 shaft on tomorrow, since I know a lot of people are interested in the results. Unfortunately, I will not have a before/after dyno, but I will be going to do a run, soon, so I will at least have a run with all of my mods. That's the best, I can do, unfortunately...Unless someone in the DC/MD/VA area wants to to sponsor dyno time for me lololll Then I will be GLAD to take the shaft on/off and dyno before and after hehe.

Really looking forward to this. I kind of took a leap of faith, since there wasn't a lot of feedback on this mod. Hopefully, I am not disappointed!DOMO

So installing the Z1 driveshaft will, unfortunately, have to wait :'(

Having some trouble with the lift in my shop and I am unable to get the car up. So this will have to wait a week or two. dammit!!!

At least go the ProKit installed! That's one thing off my to-do list!

Gaahhh tell me about it! If it was a job I could do w/o a lift, I would. But I don't want a car on my chest at worst, and at best, spend 10 hours on a job that should have taken 1 hour, lol.

As soon as I am able to get it in, I will DEFINITELY get you guys my impressions. I am as disappointed as you, trust me

**** was RIDICULOUS! I definitely stripped that bolt. Had to use a gripper socket with hardened extensions (twisted and broke non-hardened extension!) and drives and a breaker bar to get it off. It took 2 hours! I have NEVER in my entire life, dealt with a bolt on that tight. Absolutely absurd.
