ill give you an A for creativity and being different. The grille is definitely different, i think a blacked out grille could've made this look as mean as your meaty tires but hey you're spending the money so i applaud you for sticking to it.

Nice humble brag on the benz c63 too btw

Tires Mounted

What I did for the G today... had two new Continental Extreme Contact Sports mounted on the front Vossens, officially making a set of four now. R.I.P, Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

However, it's still February and still winter, today's warm spell notwithstanding.

Looking forward to your impressions of the Continentals, although by the time you mount them for spring, I’ll probably have replaced my rear PSS. Still torn between the two.

I replaced the front sway bar bushings with replacements from Eibach. I hate working on my car in the dark

I hacksawed a bushing in half. Not sure if it will come out in the pic, but there were flat spots. My theory is the bar was moving oh so slightly. The Moog end links helped, but the noise is still there.

No driving impressions yet, but I’m cautiously optimistic.

Mine were even worse since I ran them with no grease for so long. I did notice it felt a little tighter after replacing and greasing the bushings.

Hotchkis bushings have grease channels and mine was worn so badly that they had just disapeared.

How long did they last before you replaced them?

7-8 years? I think.

At some point, the zerk fittings rusted shut and I couldn't grease them anymore.

So I almost hate to say this, like by doing so, I'm going to jinx myself, but, driving to work today, there was ZERO suspension noise

I'm still concerned it's too good to be true, because initially, when I re-greased the bushings, the noise ceased for a few days, only to return. And it's generally worse when it's cold, and it was 68* this morning on the drive to work. Still, it's a commute I've been driving for 10+ years, and over the past 6 or so months, I've developed a mental map of every bump, elevation change and pavement irregularity that caused noise, and nothing today, even over the speed bumps in my work parking lot, which always caused the noise.

Logically though, the bushings were worn down smooth in several spots, which would in theory prevent the lubricant from staying there. I'm hopeful

Lego, other than driving the car and hearing things as the car moved around... if you opened the trunk and rocked the rear end up and down, could you clearly hear the eek-eek?

It's Feb 21st, so I'm still four to five weeks away... unless Spring comes way early and the weather forecasters call it.
