If you have the F-body brake upgrade the banjo bolts that come with the lines are too short. If you have stock brakes it would work fine.

Cost me $450 for the bumpers, and the rest of the SC/T kit painted.

So what's your question? I don't see a question mark in there anywhere.

But yeah, really not enough info to make a judgement call. Mileage isn't that different between the cars. It really depends on what condition the rest of the cars are in and if either of them needs any other repairs and what it would cost. In my opinion, LIM gasket replacement isn't that hard or expensive to do, so if that's all it needs and you can do it yourself or get it done cheap, I'd fix it. Even if you eventually decide to sell it, it will be worth more if it's fixed and running, so you'll get your money back out of the repair.

I decided to install brand new stock fog lights and put in some very nice and bright LED bulbs. They are very white and bright. I also put in brand new reverse light fixtures in the bumper and used LEDs in them as well. Here are some pics of my lighting now. It wasn't dark enough to get the full effect.

Go with REAL led fogs, and CFL halos. Not the best picture nor angle but you get the idea

I do have a pair of HIDs for the headlights that I have never gotten around to installing yet. Now my fogs make them look so yellow.

Also about the banjo bolts. What and where do I need to order the correct ones for my ss lines? I'm still confused as to why I can't just use the ones that are on my calipers now if the ones that came with the ss lines do not work. Thanks.

How do you not understand? I just told you because the banjo bolt they supply is too short.

StarGlow explained it in a thread somewhere more in depth.

Here's the ones you need:

I agree its getting fixed tuesday i like the honda and the gas mileage but my ga is way better

[geldartb]

lim gasket if you do it yourself will be roughly $200. that will include antifreeze, oil, filter and naturally the lim gasket.

[sleepyalero]

You need a uim gasket too.

[geldartb]

that usually comes in the set when you get the lim.

[EJ01GAGT]

Yeah i got all the parts my buddy's dad is doing it
This is wht i been driving since my ga went down

You can also just reuse your stock banjo bolts for the new lines. Just make sure to use the new copper washers that come with the goodridge lines.

As mentioned if you have camaro calipers, bolt from the kit will be too short. There was also someone who had posted that the bolts from the kit had the wrong thread pitch; I had that problem as well. Turns out the bolts supplied with the lines had the thread pitch for rear drums, and didn't fit for front or rear calipers. Reusing stock ones worked fine.

Good. That was what I was thinking I could do. Thanks.
