The tow hooks can also be used as lift points.

Thanks man. Is there a brand of jack and jack stands you recommend? The one that came with my SC got destroyed a while back.

I would invest in one of those aluminum race jacks if you plan on adjusting your suspension often. They come in handy, they get the car up in the air quickly. The ones at Sears are about $150.00.

Does anyone know who makes those super quick jacks? This guy I knew had one that got the car up to a good height with 2 or 3 pumps.

On the bright side, you can throw out the cabin filter. Nothing but a fresh breeze...

In all seriousness, glad you weren't under it.

my plan of attack and my weapons... silicone, heat gun, and various hammers

after peeling back the carpet it wasnt as bad as i thought it was. but did noticed what looked like sound deaden-er

realized i couldnt hammer through the nasty stuff decided to heat it up and scrape it off

after some rough hammering i got it back flat sealed it up and put the floor mat back.

gonna buy some dynamat later and put some on top
