Sick man!

Slight update, got the line installed and it no longer leaks fluid. Drove it home from my buddy's shop (23 miles from my house) with no hickups whatsoever. It felt great driving it but it certainly needs some TLC. Definitely going to focus on my suspension this winter. After driving my S10 for a year it felt like my bones were being rattled out of my body driving this.
Picking it up from the shop:

Got rid of my 10 spokes and threw these on that I bought a little while ago

And Photoshop drop for the lolz

Going to install some sensors I have laying around tomorrow, maybe tackle the power steering if I'm feeling brave. Pretty much just needs a little buttoning up and some exhaust work and tires and its ready to rock. I will also be painting most of not all of the car over the winter as well.
Feeling motivated as ever right now

I know the stock height is killing me. After taking a good look at everything suspension wise I'm just going to replace most of it with aftermarket stuff. The car rides so harsh

If your car is riding harsh with stock suspension when you lower it it's only going to be worse. I don't drive mine every day so the hard ride doesn't bother me, be prepared for a tuffer ride.

I think the harshness had to do with the bald tires, unbalanced wheels, and blown shocks. Big reason why I got rid of those wheels because it was pretty decent on KLABs old wheels. I know that reducing suspension travel won't increase ride quality haha.
