BUILD THREAD 87 Cutlass EFI build: 9/13/23..NEW STUFF!

[Injectedcutty]

After fighting with brake bleeding procedures the past week I figured out an issue after being scalded by my mechanic cousin. He said "ditch the speed bleeders dummy, they cause issues!" Sooo, yesterday I swapped back to stock bleeders, got all brakes bled and went for a drive today!
The viking coilovers definitely gave the front-end the change it needed, the stance is perfect now! Discovered a few bugs while driving that need to be addressed, but overall I'm pumped to have it rolling again! It's nice to look through the rear wheel and see the 12" rotor too!

At first glance, your post read like a bot response for a trick-f*ck. I almost didn't click the link. I was afraid it was going to be a Rickroll.

What "bugs" are you experiencing? Front end stuff?

What "bugs" are you experiencing? Front end stuff?

Random noises. I do know the rear wheels barely fit over the hub of the new moser axles. I might pull the rear wheels and slightly clearance the hub opening on them. The rear discs did widen the stance, I now have at least 3/4" gap to the frame...I'd really like to test a 9" wheel and 275 tire. Cory has 18x9.5 on his Monte with a 275 tire, so one day were gonna see if it'll fit.
Not sure also if the fresh rearend was making noises or if it was something else. Yes there is fluid in there, could just be something else. Had to bed in the rear pads so that created some odd noises and smells as well. Just tough when multiple things were done at once so trying to narrow stuff down is a chore. All good, I'll chip away as usual, might throw some tall lower ball joints in a cart too just in case the front-end needs to come down more.

You need to some autocrossing and crank those shocks up to see the full benefit of them.

So glad to see you got the brakes bled and it’s working. How do the brakes feel? Can you tell a difference?

Brakes feel way better with disc all around. I wasn't too hard on them since I was breaking in the pads, but the difference is noticeable for sure Jim.

I was curious on the stance, so I got an accurate measurement earlier and I'm liking it...
Front...

Rear....

Had nice weather here today, so I took the girls for a quick cruise and some tire smoke. Had to snag some pics while the sun was shining. I'm really digging the stance now, but need an alignment bad!
