Went and got the 13pc. deep wall SAE impact socket set last week and the 13pc deep wall Metric impact socket set today. Way to hot to be working on the car, 110 here today. News said hotter tomorrow. I'll be ready to go when the temps cool down.

Impacts are great, just saw I have not posted here in months. I am back working on the car installed front sway bar with new poly greaseable bushings and ends. Bought founders LCA relocation brackets and Panhard bar relocation kit last week, hope to install them today. Going to be getting the Founders strut mounts and torque arm. I need to stay off the Founders Performance web site! Too much cool stuff.

Ordered the LS1 AC Delco front rotors today. Received one of the calipers today it's huge compared to the stock 3 gen.

Sorry Craby, I'll get you some pictures this weekend. All LS1 brake parts ordered. Getting the hubs and brackets from www.bigbrakeupgrade.com, Scott is great to do business with.

I can move the car around now, burned out in the horse trail in front of my driveway backing it in (by accident). I still need to install the Founders Performance LCA brackets and panhard bar relocation kit.
