    Pulled the dumbass moment for the year(so far)

    When you buy parts for your car only the realize those parts are already on the car

    Thursday I had stopped at Summit on way back from a job and picked up a set of stiff sidewall MT 26x10 slicks and new set of Strange front struts. So while changing the oil I notice the struts are black and there is an adjustment knob on bottom.

    I sat there looking at them and thought huh. Guess that explains why my sixties suck so far this year. There are set stiff for street. Completely forgot I had put them on car last year. I thought I still had the Lakewood 90/10s up front


    Also tore rearend back apart to figure out what I did wrong that is was noisy on decel. Put another .015" under pinion and rear arranged carrier shims and sucker is whisper quiet now.
