Okay, so when I got my rearend installed, I also had all new brakes installed in the rear of my car, rebuilt calipers / PBR MM pads /new Balo rotors / new parking brake shoes and cable and all works swell. On the front of the car, I got some used calipers and discs from the guy I got the rearend from, they had 10k on them, now they are on my car also (along with some recent Bendix deluxe pads I got about 2k ago). New Castrol LMF brake fluid also. So my brakes are fine and dandy...
As for my transmission, I might have already said this, but I flushed it and put the Castrol 80/90wt Hypoy C gear oil in it. It still makes noise, and I guess it is going to until it goes all the way. Which should hopefully not be for a long time. I take care of it now, and don't do any fast shifts, but I'll still drag race it(with smooth shifts). And BTW, I didn't get to go to PIR last weekend... I'll get there soon enough.
For the rear swaybar, after 3 hours of fiddling trying to make it fit and redrilling a mounting hole for it, I ended up using a 1/8 or 1/16 inch thick plate on either side of the floorboard. And if that isn't enough, oh well, I'm leaving it for now. Maybe when I'm rich and famous and get a full roll cage and turn it into a 2.5 Challenge car, I'll really reinforce it.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS!
KYLE
