Yeah, exactly, I did not want to drop exhaust either. If you also have the BMR rear cradle front chassis braces, be sure to install them with the lockout kit... I forgot I had them and installed the lockout kit and had to turn around and redo the front portion of the lockout kid partially to then install the braces and ended up reusing the TTY bolts that I had JUST replaced when I did the lockout kit, lol. BMR says they hadn't replaced the bolts on any of their installs but for a few dollars I said why not and then had to re-use it anyways because I didn't have a second set laying around :-/ lol.

Fun day in the garage yesterday...oil and filter, rear diff fluid, skip shift eliminator install, Soler Performance throttle controller install, tire rotation, wheel cleaning (damn brake dust), and a wash/wax.

Holy cow is the throttle controller awesome...

That sounds like a great day! You knocked a lot of stuff off the list. Brake dust is now part of your life with the stock pads.

Thanks for the great video. When you did the alignment, did you notice if it was much out of specification? Thanks.

No proble, thank you! I actually just installed the cradle lockout kit and chassis brace but still have the upper and lower trailing arms, upper control arms, and front and rear sway bars to install... should be done over the next week or so, as time allows with work and everything. Once I finish all of that up I'll drop car back down off my QuickJack and run it over to the alignment shop and see how bad/good the alignment is lol.

Looks GREAT!!!

You are going to LOVE the 315's on the rears vs' the old 245's, prepare for some really good traction... Even going from 275's to 305's on my SS made a big difference! 2.75" more rudder on the ground is going to be HUGE! (I can't believe GM put 245's on the back of a 455 HP car!)
