Thanks again for all of your help Sam!
Are there any other helpful pointers you might be able to give me before I start the work? This is the first time I've worked on this car so any nuances that would not be in any manual would be greatly appreciated.

Um, sure.. if you want to call me I'm sure I can find something to tell you.... But it's not something I'd want to do in type (not a good way to discuss detail).

No worries. I'm just getting my final supply list ready and wanted to know if there might be anything else that I might need to get (ex. specialty tools) that would get me out of a bind or make my life easier. Anyway, I will reach out to you if I get into a bind.

I'm going to be replacing my old 1/2 torque wrench as my current one (it's cheap) is out of calibration. I've already got a 3/8 in the range that you recommended.
I'm going to try out a 1 month online subscription to the Helms site ($20.00). I will let you all know how that works.

Robert123, are you competing in the Atlanta area autocross? If so did you compete last yr? I competed in grey 2011 gt, just wondering if I might have seen you. I agree STU is a tough class for a mustang in Atlanta, those sti's are hard to catch!

RWheels, You probably have seen me. I've been competing in Atlanta for years now. I ran in FS in my black 14 gt last year, but have been planning, and saving, for the upgrades all year. I remember seeing your car last year, and we probably spoke since I was trying to figure out what to do with my car.
It will be interesting on how well I do versus you and some of the other street tire Mustangs. I noticed most (if not all) of the STU cars were running on 255's and panhard bars, and I will be going with 285's and a watt's link. In theory, I should be faster, but probably not fast enough to beat an STI.
See you on the course,
Robert

Thank for the offer Rob, but I was able to get it done at a friends house this weekend.
The car has dramatically changed and is much more responsive. I hear some noise coming from the Watt's Link, but I'm not sure if it is just the end links clunking or something else. I will be taking it in for an alignment tomorrow and will ask the guys there if I can look at it while the car is on the lift.
I will send out a short series of posts later on with the problem I encountered. I attempted to do it tonight, but I got timed out and lost the post.
