    Whenever I get the cash for it, my history teacher has a set of original rims in mint condition off of his '06 SE he wants to sell me, after that yeah, lateral arms, then front and rear sways with new LCAs, then Vogtlands - after that I think I'm gonna call it good

    Been there, done that, lol. When the time comes, I can help if you need it. Make sure you get the Moog Problem Solver LCA bushings (not the LCAs, the BUSHINGS).

    Sounds great, thanks lol. Is it worthwhile to replace the entire LCAs with new ones (AcDelco of course) or just buy some used? Switching to the 97-03 style for the Dorman front sway

    Doesn't really matter. The hardest part is switching out the front control arm bushing, and you'll be doing that to put in the problem solvers. You'd save the work of replacing the rear bushing and ball joint if you bought new, that's about it.

    Are there any better alternatives to the stock ball joints and rear bushings? I've decided against the original cam and intercooler idea on this one, I wanna keep it streetable and reliable. I do, however, want it to handle as well as one of these things possibly can, lol.

    Ball Joints, not really. The rear bushing, If you hunt or do some research you might be able to track down a poly bushing for it. I ended up going with the blue Moog rear bushing and I like it. It's not quite as hard as poly, but it's leaps and bounds ahead of stock. I have't checked, but the Moog ProblemSolver control arms probably come with the rear blue bushings. If only they would come with the ProblemSolver FRONT bushings, but NO!

    You'd think they'd make it an option, they'd sell a ton more that way. Oh well, I'll get it all figured out eventually

    Put on tinted tails and reverse bar today, before and after

    The battery went bad suddenly a while back. Doesn't hold a charge well, barely cranks the car over. And now, I went to take off and as soon as I hit the gas (not hard, just backing up), a "reduced engine power" warning flashed on the DIC and the check engine light came on. And to top it all off, my front turn signals quit working. The lights themselves work, but they won't flash.

    Nah, I like the badges, to be honest. They don't look tacky and plastic like the 97-03 ones

    Just replaced the battery over the summer, I'm not sure what's up with it. And yeah, it's a real Gibson, 60's tribute Studio. Played way better than the Standard they had with P90s, and it was about $600 cheaper, so I grabbed it instead

    Still haven't tested the battery, but sorted out some vacuum issues and the car runs great again. Oh, and I tried these on to see how it'd look, and I fell in love with the car all over again, lol.
