looks good. i have the prokit with the bilstein sports (for lowered cars ie the prokit) and i LOVE them.

 

oh btw...

which lottery did you win??

LOL jk

late Christmas present to your ride?

 

:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

GET CRACKIN!!!

 

Damn thers like 1000's of dollars in parts. lucky u

 

Nice ! I guess the SweetRide will be getting sweeter LOL

 

You'll have fun when all that stuff's bolt on.

 

very nice. classic choice on wheels, good width too! your going to love the hd's and pro-kit....the right choice, bilstein sports are for the sportline springs.




beautiful driveshaft as well..........looks like a very nice set of parts!

 

"Oh what fun it is to ride in a thirdgen"! Man your so lucky, take some pic's of the install. Can't wait to see it once it's all said and done!!! Pic's, Pic's, and more Pic's~~~:hail:

 

Jesus...I don't know what your doing for $$ but I want to do it too. Looks great!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys...now I have yet ANOTHER hold up...Baer sent me the wrong backing plates for the 9 bolt...geez...no body knows how to do their job these days

 

are you putting a sport kit on the rear or a touring kit?

 

awesome parts selections!

 

Kandied: Touring Kit is going on the front (2 piston)...Sport on the rear (single piston)

 

Hey, w/ the Sport kit, are you suppose to get the E-Brake cables w/ it? AND, do both sides have an E-Brake setup? The cables for the E-Brake didn't come w/ mine, and both calipers have the E-Brake setup...

 

Edit: Kandied: Touring Kit is going on the front (2 piston)...Sport on the rear (single piston)

Switch 'em around...I'm gettin' confused w/ all these parts already...lol

 

Ok, I just found out...I got the wrong backing plates from Baer, PLUS, they didn't send me the Emergency Brake Cables...and yes, I answered my own question, both calipers require the E-Brake cables...Bastards I tell ya!

 

Good night that's an awesome stash of parts!

Ed

 

i was going to say, in your list it says track (13" 2 piston kit) for the front and sport (12" 2 piston kit) for the rear.....i was about to say wow. with 2 piece rotors that would be a nice way to spend 4,000.

so you got the 12" 2 piston sport kit up front and a stock pbr disc brake setup for the rear and the bracket that extends the mounting to hold a larger baer 12" rotor in the rear?

 

That's correct

 

I got the Sport up front cuz the Track wouldn't clear my rims...12's should be sufficient enough, plus they'll look good behind the Smoothies Touring in the back b/c not much is needed in the rear anyway....I didn't want to get a huge kit for the back...stock from Baer will be fine...just got the kit to match the front

 

looks good, i agree about the front....in all truth i love the looks and power of the 13 but the hassles it incorporates aren't always worth it. it's rather difficult since you can't bolt a smaller wheel on them so i can't even align the 18's i have.

 

Just got done w/ dealing w/ Baer. Should get my missing pieces in tomorrow...Maybe I can FINALLY start bolting on the fun!!

 

umm, unbolt caliper.
yank rotor off.

put 14" steelies (or whatever) on.

align car.

slip rotor back on, bolt up caliper and put the 18s back on.

 

definately pretty much the only way around it....

 

I love those polished strut tower mounts more than anything you have pictured

But I'm kinda biased toward liking them

 

Alloy...

I wonder why you'd like them so much??

 

does alloy sell those?

if so, how much.

john

 

They are available from Spohn Performance for $350 per set.

Hmmm, well maybe cause they look kinda cool

 

ouch, nice but ouch.....

 

If you are curious as to what benefits of these mounts are, read the post from
vsixtoy in this thread. He explains is very well.

https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...33#post1848133

 

If I bought all that stuff, I think I know the benefits

 

SWEET!!!! whats all this going on?

 

Wishmaster's87IROC:

'90 Firebird...can't really call it a "Firebird" anymore...b/c it's totally custom, and as you can see by the parts...KILLS WS6 Performance Package...lol...So, it has to surpass the Firehawk...just don't really know...

 

Wow, I envy you. Great parts you have there.

Let me know when you how much of a difference you feel when you get all that stuff installed. I want to do a similar suspension upgrade (if I can in this lifetime).

:hail: :hail:

 

Nate: Thanks!

I can't wait to see how all of this is going to make the car handle and feel. Every day grows w/ more anticipation!

 

Damn Nice Stuff...ME WANTS!

:hail:

 

Ill take the drive shaft the del al um bushings and the bilsteins. Now all im thinkin is wheres the roll cage.

 

With those parts, "Roll" is no longer in his vocabulary- its called "safety cage" in case other idiots smash into him following into the corners I'm just being a wiseass.

 

Well if he doesnt alrdy have them he atleast needs some sfc's cause there will be alot more stress on the body of the car now.

 

did u take a loan out for the parts or what? Dont tell me you just had 8Gs laying around and decided to upgrade your suspension.

Nate

 

ddn69: No loan needed. I had the cash, and it's now paid in full About to do another 6-8G's for the rest of the drivetrain, then I think I'm pretty much maxed out on what to do to her (well, as much as I know of NOW at least) hehe

 

Where did you get your drive shaft i really need one but dont know which 1 to get. Does anyone know anything about the lingenfelter aluminum peice. Im about to put alot of those parts on my car also some i alrdy have.

 

Spdfrk1990: Got my driveshaft on Ebay for $75. I since buffed/polished it before I put it on. I think it turned out might damn good, if I do say so myself

 

Well looks like you have ah good taste in parts lol. Are they installed yet i wanna see some pix.

 

Spdfrk1990: It's all installed. I don't have pics of underneathe yet, but the pics from when I took it out are here:

Finished Pics

Sticks to the ground like GLUE

 

thats insane. You been saving up for a while or u a drug dealer? LOL Just kidding. You gonna put an insane engine in there or what? You daily drive it or garage it?

Nate

 

ddn69: Daily cruiser that's garage kept. Never seen the rain (only when gotten caught in it) and never will see the killings of winter. I'm either doing a built up 350, or a bored/stroked 383 this winter. Should be the finishing touch
