Hi everyone,
It's been a few years but I thought I'd check in to see what everyone's been doing these days.
Myself, not a lot int he car department. However I did get the Trans Am out this year, and we're putting a few miles on it.
The car is feeling loose - like the suspension needs a major re-do. The Koni struts are now 25 years old, the Herb Adams rear shocks don't seem to work that well anymore,
The front rotors are crazed and spiderwebbed with cracks, the brakes squeal like a banshee when stopping; I've lost about 3/4 inch of ground clearance over the last ten years
and the headers are scraping on everything. TO top it all off, the UBE Decoupled torque arm is banging around under the car as the snubber seems to have collapsed.
The tires are six years old, and man, they must be hard because I can't get them to hook up anymore: First & second gear just spin when I get into the powerband,
so I need to be easy on the throttle. The worst part is that the tires only have about 1000 miles on them and they are six years old. The best part is that I don't feel too
particular about preserving them, so tire smoke is becoming a pretty fun way to spend some time.

Anyway - I'm just not sure where to go from here, or how to fix that suspension. A full re-do? Rebuild the decoupled torque arm, or jettison it and get something more conventional?
