Default Game Change... (lots of pics)

So dont want to make this too long so ill cut to the chase, many ppl on here were aware of my 95 sc400 shaking issues. List of mods to try and change that were as follows...

new rack and pinion
rims and tires with centering rings
new front subframe
new lower control arms
brake rotors, pads and calipers were serviced
alignment and balance twice on the tires just to make sure

finally got the shaking to a very slight barely noticeable degree.

during all this mayhem me and the wife decided to pick up the magnum... lots of plans for that bad boy

So anyhow, ill leave the figuring out of that slight shake to somone who has more patience then me. I decided to get this new beauty, 97 silver sc400. This car has its issues like any other but man i really can not deal with the shake. My wife says the car is fixed and its all in my head but i guess i got discouraged.

i dont really like the 97+ kit that everyone goes crazy about but next thing for the 97 is paint and a front lip. Im done, i got this car to enjoy it not to spend all my money fixing it. tell me what u guys think.

Well you might not enjoy the price of a lip for the 97+ body. The only one available that i know of is Big Win and i think that's like $500-$600.

dodge magnum meh

on a side note i think you have the exact same rims as me except I dont wear the centre caps.

Are those Msr 85's? they looks much beter without the caps , I know it sounds wierd but they really do.

if thats the same sc i saw at a dealership i was also looking to buy it. The price i got was too good to be true but after further research it was a rebuilt title. Is the interior black???? What are your plans for your old sc???? personally i like the look of ghe 97+ body better.
