    I should have mentioned that the electric fans come on as soon as you start the car as well, even on a cold start.

    Stupid simple question but how much tire PSI on xlr v

    I still have not reduced back down to 30 psi yet and mostly because I am seeing 6 psi increase when the tires warm up on these 75 degree days and I have not yet decided on a base pressure for cold based on driving after warm.

    Stupid simple question but how much tire PSI on xlr v

    I mis-spoke about my first impression of the increase to 34 psi on my car as I drove it a couple of hundred miles today on a short trip and I can't wait to get it back to 30 psi. and make it enjoyable again. It wanted to bang off of every pebble in the road, it was just too tight and stiff.i in...

    I have read some but still am in need of a little help. My driver door is internitent on letting me out with the push button interior switch about 50% of the time now, and getting worse, time to deal with it. It is also a little intermitent on the outside switch but to a lesser or maybe...

    On the hoist out in the shop for surgery

    Swapped out the front spring this afternoon and started with the adjuster bolts most of the way in or " lowered " and it still raised the car about 3/4" so my sitting too low in the front issue is now under control. After test driving I think I want it back up within a 1/2" of stock, give or...

    Stupid simple question but how much tire PSI on xlr v

    Tires are Continentals and ride and drive wonderful. The only dislike and it is minor is that they can have detectable flat spots for the first mile or so maximum, after sitting for several days. I did set them at 30 psi as suggested above and also just tried them at 34 and I think the 34 psi...

    Thank you so much, was getting frustrated with looking all over for such a simple question. I was inside for a quick bite to eat and you answer came in just before I went back out to the shop to finish the front spring change......

    Stupid simple question but how much tire PSI on xlr v

    My placard is smeared and illegible, I can't believe the manual refuses to say, at least that I can find. Tired of searching, Thanks, Doug... What tire pressure do you all find optimal on the 19" wheels

    Clunk from the front passenger side suspension?

    I had some clunking as well and now believe after through investigating that my rubber bushings on the bottom of the ride height adjuster bolts were either cut off or tore away from use and the bolt heads are working on the aluminum lower control arm and are being a little noisy. I think mine...

    On the hoist out in the shop for surgery

    We I just got out from under the car doing a little studying and it has a factory GM front spring. Part# 22146483 with a 1-4 code also. I looked on line and this spring is commonly associated with base 99-04 corvettes, what does anyone think. I will get online and try to do some cross...

    On the hoist out in the shop for surgery

    I am seriously thinking it has a lowering spring of some kind, I have been studying the pictures and part #'s of stock springs on ebay. Trying to identify mine as stock or not is my first coarse of action. With the factory adjusters in my spring there is not enough adjustment range to get even...

    On the hoist out in the shop for surgery

    Some of you have heard me asking questions about ride height as my car sits very low in the front. I am going to whip this issue while it is down for a few days. I'm still not positive if it has a lowering spring or if someone has cut the rubbers on the bottom of the ride height adjusters...
