Congrats POS VET! Glad you finally found the car you wanted at your price. Here's to warm, sunny, topless days ahead! Enjoy!

BTW, modding them is the best part and it definitely looks like you have "the disease"!

Back in the day before even you knew about Kappa's, on this and other forums "the disease" was called "the sickness"!  I believe some other old members of the forum remember.  Sounds like you are good to go POS VETT!!  How sweet indeed!  :usa: :drive: :usa: :urock:

Okay. 

DRL (pull the relay in the fuse box) and satellite radio (unplug the module in the trunk; pass-side mounted vertically almost behind the taillight) are now disabled.  I tried removing the OnStar fuse but that also disabled keyless entry.  In the Z06, the OnStar module is tied to the VCIM and 3 out of 4 connectors need to be unplugged.

The VCIM on the Z06 is under the pass-side seat.  I checked under the passenger seat, no VCIM.  Anyone know the location of the VCIM on the Solstice ?

I was just going to look for this thread as I read something about you going to do something to your car, and I figured I must have missed something.   congrats.

Thank you all.

I'll try to locate the VCIM tomorrow.  Ok, the ZOK stabilizers are now in my shopping list.

Just make sure that you get the right one.  There are 3 suspensions for the Kappa (OK - 4 if you count the GMPP).  The FE2 suspension came on the 2.4 Base models, the FE3 came on the GXPs & Red Lines.  So, there are 2 different Z0K suspensions one for the Base and one for the GXPs and RLs.  The Z0K option on a Base Kappa is basically the same as what came stock on the GXPs and RLs, so be sure that you do not get any parts from a Base 2.4 Z0K because your FE3 suspension is almost identical. 

Here is a thread written by a GM Engineer ("Flash's Owner") which explains all of the different part #s:  http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f42/suspension-packages-usage-58501/#post877839
